Cedric is a ghost town in northeastern Chambers County, Alabama. Today it is entirely in private ownership. It is located 3–4 miles to the southeast of present-day Roanoke, and about 1 mile southwest of Bacon Level Church. Joseph Rushton (and his wife Martha Lorance) an early Alabama potter, lived near Cedric.{{cite book|author=Joey Brackner|title=Alabama Folk Pottery|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HQHaAAAAMAAJ|year=2006|publisher=University of Alabama Press|isbn=978-0-8173-1509-2}}

Pottery industry

While nearby Bacon Level had several well known potters, Cedric's Joseph Rushton was part of their community as well.[http://randolphcountyalabamapottery.com/cedric/joseph-rushton/ Randolph County Pottery]
