Hi, everybody, Last night I finally got a chance to sit down and look at some homestead applications Pat Cowan was kind enough to send me. In them, I found a reference that I can't figure out. In one set of forms, the applicant (Jeremiah Knowles) stated that he had built on the property "a hewed-log house, plank barn" etc. That I get. However, on the next land application, Micajah Knowles stated that he had built on the property a "box house". What in the world is a box house? And how did you build it? For those of you who are interested in the Jerry Knowles application (since it was for the land owned in later years by Benjamin Arthur & Virgie Hickman Loveless), here are some of the things that Jerry built on the property. Does anyone know where these were: hewed-log dwelling house plank barn corn crib 2 wells (Dad says he knows where 2 old wells are; hope they are these!) log smoke house --Melissa
