Shared note

David Welch sold approx. 25-30 acres to the "Coalings Company" for use in charcoal production. Timber was cut in approximate 4' lengths and stacked in large piles for burning or smoldering into charcoal. The charcoal was then hauled by wagon to Brownsport Furnace to fire the furnace for iron smelting. Iron ore dug out of area hills was hauled to the furnace area. During this time, 12-15 houses were built at Brownsport for workers. Years later, when Carl Butler, Sr.'s family was sharecroppers at what is near the present J. G. Brasher home, some of the fields there had places where the plowed ground showed evidence of the charcoal burning operations---dark black soil.
