I used to live near Hammondsville, and there was a brickworks on rte. 213, just before getting into Hammondsville. I think that it was 213 south. Don't remember the name of the place, and it is gone now. ----- Original Message ----- From: Karen Carlyle To: [email protected] Sent: 1/9/01 12:30:28 AM Subject: [ohjeffer] re:Irondale Potteries Tom, Of course I can't be sure where Harry Ewing may have worked, but according to my 1871 atlas of Jeff. Co., the closest brickworks to Irondale was the Hammondsville Coal Fire and Brick Co. It's not clear where the factory was as this label is placed on land both north and south of Hammondsville. The part north of Hammondsville shows coal so perhaps that was just a mining operation, not sure. Incidentally there is a James Ewing listed for Irondale. Most of the town is owned by Morgan and Hunter which is, not surprisingly, an iron factory. Keep in mind that Columbiana Co. which is just north of there, also had lots of potteries. Hope this helps, Karen - ------------------------------- Subject: Re: [ohjeffer] Re: Jefferson Co. Potteries Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 19:18:40 EST From: [email protected] To: [email protected] I read your message about the brick works in Jefferson County. My G.GF Harry Ewing worked in Irondale as a brick molder at a brick factory. But I do not know the name of it. Can you help me with that? I am looking for any information I can get on him. Thank you in advance for your cooperation! Tom --- --- [email protected] --- EarthLink: It's your Internet.
