Per Marian Elizabeth Biles in 1969: “On 12 January 1965 J. Garfield Kerrick of Camptown said the old Jacop
Kerrick place was about ¼ mile down the hill, on the road from top of hill to
the creek – westerly from the road beyond Wilson Kerrick’s house, to the
South. It was down the hill in back of
Wilson Kerrick’s place. There is still a
house there. He said you go in from the
Braund place, but can’t go all the way down.
This is the lane down to the old spring where grandfather had to take
his cows for water in dry weather. On 15
July 1969 Meade Knights took me to see the Jacob Kerrick house, which still was
there, but abandoned and sad – a good half mile from the main road. Mrs. Knights lived there until she was 5
years old.”
