I have a listing in the "Iron and Steel in Scioto County" book for a 'Col. Sebastian Eifert' He built the Harrison Furnace in 1853. He worked at Jackson Ohio and Bloom furnaces beginning in 1839 and was the foundryman and manager of the Bloom furnace during 1842. The company was known as the Harrison Furnace Co. After operating it for two years, he sold it to Samuel McConnell and Daniel Sommers and went to Carter Co., Ky where he built the Boone Furnace and became manager. After he returned from the Civil War he sold his intrest in the Boone Furnace (1866) and became the manager of the Hunnewell Furnace located in Greenup Ky. until 1870. Is this any relation to who you are looking for? I saw the reference to the furnaces and thought I would look in the book to see if he might be mentioned. -----Original Message----- From: RUTH J WHITE <RUTHJAN@prodigy.net> To: KYGREENU-L@rootsweb.com <KYGREENU-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, March 01, 1999 11:27 AM Subject: Re: [KYGREENU-L] EIFORT >I would be interested also > >thank you > >-----Original Message----- >From: danteonline <danteonline@email.msn.com> >To: KYGREENU-L@rootsweb.com <KYGREENU-L@rootsweb.com> >Date: Monday, March 01, 1999 9:19 AM >Subject: [KYGREENU-L] EIFORT > > >> >>In Reply to Carol >> >>There are two full pages in the Supplement to the History of Greenup County >>Kentucky on pg. 98.
