An old broken iron pot on the old John Jack Ballard place
Can't you just imagine building up a fire and heating water in this
old cast iron pot to boil clothes on washing day?
Me with an old galvanized tub on the old Ballard place
It was so neat finding this old place. It is located north of Spaniard
Creek road. The old road we walked up on was little more than a trail and
did turn into a trail and then nothing but brush by the time we found the
remains. I am glad my companion knew how to get there or I would have been
hopelessly lost!
An old bucket on the Ballard place
We also found some of the rocks that were used for the foundation of
the house. We found the rock place where they used to boil and make
sorgum molasses. We found a rock surrounded flower bed and part of the
goat pen fence. By the way, John Jack Ballard built the little 2 room house
for his family. It is now located on the property of a relative of his
wife and is now used as a chicken house. They moved it out of there when
Camp Gruber made them move. John Jack is son of William Ballard of the
previous 2 pages.
