I know that this is somewhat long, but if anyone has additions to this
please let me know.... orrrrr if you'd like to know where I got my info
from, (some fantastic stories here, I'll send some of those along
toooooooo!) my information came from A History of Watauga County, North
Carolina, written by: John Preston Arthur, printed 1915. Very
interesting!!!!
