BUILT THE HOUSE IN 1851.
"Son Rufus was born, lived, & died in the house his father had built."
The Click brothers made tar for their use on wagon wheel axles. They had a blacksmith shop, which "during the Civil War was taken over by the government. People were forced to hide livestock and food from the armies. The Click's kept their horses hidden at Yellow Spring Branch." They guarded their horses from Point Lookout. "Anyone who attempted to steal the horses was shot, Holt said".
"Cows were hidden about a mile away from their home at Jackins Hollow" "family buried their meat in the ground to keep the Rebels from finding".
MANUSCRIPT OF MAE TWITCHELL - Built a 2 room log house the main room being the whole of the first floor, and a small room or loft above that. The kitchen, also built of logs, was separate from the main house in keeping with the customs of that period in history. The logs for these bildings were hand hewn with an axe. The house has had rooms added to it and is still standing and being lived in at this writing.
Jeff Click was a metal worker and farmer.
