the then county sheriff and former

built this year on parts of lots 362
and 395 of District 5.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).J R Cook (Emma's first husband) death.
