Quoting from THE TRADITIONAL POTTERY OF ALABAMA, by E. Henry Willet and Joey Brackner, page 30: "It appears that after emancipation, blacks who were trained potters did not have the wherewithal to own their own shops...Captain and Major Cribbs of Lamar County, had been slaves of Peter Cribbs, a potter from Ohio. After Peter's death, following the Civil War, Captain and Major ran the business owned by Peter's widow. Anna Bell Cribbs McGill, granddaughter of Peter remembers Captain and Major well. She remembers their making bricks, churns, and little smoking pipes that took reeds as stems. She also recalls that Captain built a kiln." [It was through these slaves that the black line of Cribbs came.] |
