in Rockwood, having taken a contract with the Roane Iron Company to build six
log houses in what is now known as old Rockwood, hear the furnace, the first
houses built in the town. He is said to have dug the first iron ore that was
ever smelted int the Rockwood furnace. He was married twice and was the father
of seventeen children- seven by his first marriage and ten by his second-ten of
whom survive, and these were all with him in his lasthours except one who is
living in Texas. From him 132 descendants have sprungreaching into the fourth
generation, most of them living in this county. He also has two sisters and two
brothers living in Blount County. Deceased was a quiet, peaceable, industrious
citizen, devoted to his family, reverenced and respected by all, as was
attested by the large number of people that attended hisfuneral. He was a
