All things permitting, my father and I will be joining you guys on this trip. Tom

Sounds like you guys all had a great time. Sorry I couldn't make it. It would have been nice to meet all of you. I enjoyed the photos, though. Tom

Guy, No, the map doesn't note any markers. Tom

Teegate, I have read Boyer's book. A great book. I, also, have Richard Jones' original map of the Hanover/Jones Tract from 1846. It is from before the division of Richard and Samuel. The total land mass that the brothers owned at that time was 44,454 12/100 acres. I have been trying to...

I have searched the Furoms for these stories and haven't found them with the exception of the "crows in the smoke stack," which I didn't post here. If I have repeated anything that has been posted before, please forgive me. That said, here they are as quoted by Herbert Halpert and Charles...

Hey everyone, I hope you enjoy these. I knew if anyone could appreciate them, it was all of you that make this site what it is. Ben, thanks for making a spot for them. I truely appreciate it. Tom

My father and I were laughing about that story this morning. Tom

This post has been very interesting and amusing. The part about freezing the mash would indicate that the liquor could only be made in the winter, as there was no way to freeze liquids at that time.

Thanks TeeGate. I have more docs that I plan to post, hope you guys enjoy them.

Thanks Mike. That is the story I am talking about. According to my grandmother the ironmaster in that story was a forefather of mine. I want get a copy of the story.

Does anyone know a folklore tale about smoke stacks and a wizard? It involves one of the furnaces, a wizard and a lot of crows. My grandmother told it to me years ago, but I don't remember the exact story and haven't been able to find it anywhere. Thanks, Tom

Renee, I just thought I would tell you that I bought that book on Abebooks. Thanks again for the information. Tom

Thanks for all the info guys. I really do appriciate it. I am going to buy a copy of Charles Boyers book. Tom

Guy, I did read to the end of your article. It is interesting, I had read it a couple of months back not realizing that it was tied to this site. Right now, I am more interested in the two families that were involved in the furnace. Tom

Does the book go into any detail about the Howell's / Jones's?

Ben, you had posted a copy of the Jones Tract map, what book was this in? Thanks.

Does anyone have any information on the Jones's / Howell's that owned and operated the Hanover Furnace, Mary Ann Furnace and Florence Iron Works? I am trying to find any and all information pertaining to these families. Thanks.
