Two Union County landowners and iron masters, Peter Sharp (1794-1878) and his son-in-law Major Allen Hurst (1810-1873), are responsible for forging the cannon. Allen Hurst owned the Allen Hurst Furnace and Peter Sharp owned the Green Grove Furnace, established in 1825. The furnace is known as the Peter Sharp Furnace, located about a quarter of a mile above the mouth of Fall Creek in Union County. Both Sharp and Hurst aided the confederacy during the Civil War, even though the majority of Union county people sympathized with the federal government. The period during and after the war meant that both Sharp and Hurst would lose most of their property along with belongings pertinent to history. And so it was with the cannon. Family history claims that when the cannon was fired during the Andrew Jackson celebration, it exploded; sending pieces of iron hurling in all directions. Soft spots, cracks or improper amounts of gun powder were suspected causes of the explosion. Today, remnants of this historical cannon are in the possession of Mrs. Jessie Lee Russell Seals, left to her by her aunt, Ola Miller of Union County in 1957. It had originally been abandoned in the home of John and Arminta Hurst Miller, Mrs. Seals' grandparents.

Some of you might not either. I've listed the link to the home page, but scroll downand look a the links to other pages. That's where the meat is. This page has a lot of potential and if we all contribute, our work will be saved for the user of others. For example, the Rev War Records of Michael McDowell were submitted by someone I've never heard of. That person is likely my cousin and we're both researching the same man.
