Thanks to Todd for sharing his family’s history with us.

@dougalexander7204 3 года назад

My ancestors had a log cabin that straddled a stream coming out of a cave. Pitcher pump on sink drew up water and crawdads. The area was dammed up by beaver and called Lightening Bug hollow in the Great American Bottoms. When hoodlums burnt it down I cried. Then when property was sold, I cried again.

Beau and Todd, This is a treasure. History is wonderful but when you get to investigate an ancestral home/area the hunt enters a whole new area. The memories of your family are still there for you to sit, enjoy, and absorb. Chig found the remains of an old pitchfork yiu need to retrieve. You also need to drive an artu

@glennaw1547 3 года назад

Sorry, I hit the wrong button. Todd you need to drive an atv up there and retrieve the grindstone and the fireplace poker, the old mason jars, and pitchfork. If you kids do not want now, they will later on as adults. Also, during this fall time get a regular camera and take pictures of the house from different views and keep prints of the same. This your heritage. You probably have nieces, nephews, cousins that want to same history. The long nails and even the pilsbury flour sack piece would look great in a memory box with a picture of the house. This one was special. Thx

@scornell66 3 года назад

Well done Chigg....I could spend a lot of time looking around a beautiful home like that. For Todd's relatives to have lived there would be an added bonus. Just reflecting of what life was like for his G & GG-Grandparents. This was America that should never be forgotten about. Thanks again for bringing us along!!!!

@ogamhunter 3 года назад

36:52 - Noticed the wollyworm, many still here in WV. look at the wollyworm, to determine the winter weather. The black bands near the head, indicates into first two weeks of Dec. Looking at this one by what I see, the first two weeks of Jan. and first week of Feb. shows extreme cold weather. Each band counts as a week, from the tail end to the head is Feb. Jan. Dec. Each black band indicates extreme cold weather. The solid black worms are males and you don't look at them. Just had to throw this in there, Old folk lore! Too you can pick them up, they don't sting or bite you, very soft, so take extra care. God Bless, (Glen).

Yes that can was an Indian Tank, I carried one of them in my younger days fighting fires for the Forestry Dept. It wasn't fun when the fire was on top of a mountain and I had to carry one of them cans on my back up and down the mountain to fill them up with water from a creek.

Very nice stairs, actually curves around to the living room. So far back in the Holler, but it was their land so why not. Sad that a squatter was living there and growing weed. Could have done real damage to the old place. Sad story about the husband. Thank-you Todd and Chig for the adventure.

@dropnoelfield295 3 года назад

@medievalknight2004 3 года назад

Raking hay with horses is a dangerous thing. My dad was raking hay in the mid 40's, just after the war. He was checking the harness when the school bus he used to ride went by, he raised his hand to wave and the mare thought he was going to slap her on the rump. She took off and he only had time to dive out of the way of the rake. If it hadn't been for his heavy boots, he would have been turned over with the hay. He always said afterwards when near horses, keep your hands low and always talk to the horse.

LOL! 😝 That grindstone WAS neat! Love the pitch fork! Interesting threaded plug. Maybe from a hot water bottle? And fleur-de-lis....hmmmm.....🤔 BTW - all of the wooly bear caterpillars I have seen recently have a different band...looks like a long, cold winter. I loved watching the sense of adventure and family nostalgia for Todd. 🥰.

@reginaromsey 3 года назад

I find it interesting at how marginal the land was that people snatched up and lived on all their lives. It shows why pioneers kept looking for better land until they hit the Willamette Valley here in Oregon where anything will grow, but then still pressed on to the very edge of the Pacific.

@leonacollins1785 3 года назад

As i took some stone away from the foundation at cleanup we found some really cool large dinner plates most were in pieces, they had blue flowers and ships on them . I managed to put the broken pieces to make almost a plate , a historian in the area i talked to said Germans most likely settled in these areas, he date 1800's.
