Her widowed father Mr. Bell married the Jackson Widow with four Jackson Heirs. Her dead husband was a full blooded cherokee and received Land grant beside the Tn river to farm. This woman I know named Alice grew up in the house belonging to the Jackson widow and recalled to me how big the house was, had an acdelco system, indoor plumbing, circa 1928, and the house had been built around a hugh slad stone walls of a fort. She told me they would go in there to cool off during the hot summer months,,the stone fort had stone wall, stone floor and stone ceiling and was quite alarge room. Tva flooded the house with the Tn river..I find no mention of a stone fort being listed in waht was drowned...maybe no one ever realized there was a stone fort in the center of large old farm house...I wonder if it is still under the water somewhere near Lotterdale cove..her bustop was at the end of bellview and hwy95,and she would walk two miles home unless her dad picked them up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01096516272188020059noreply@blogger.com
