jul 1, 1827 - The Coleman written tour pamphlet claims that the brothers JHP (sp?) Brown and Bob Brown built Kettle in this year to use as a tin shop and a mercantile. When you look at their birth and death records, that build year is impossible, not to mention that those two are not brothers (unless there are additional family members of which we are not aware).
