The entire area was thickly covered by what is referred to as "grave vine." It is a ground cover that stays green all year.
Samuel Mauk, born in 1790, married in 1811, Mary (Polly) Broyles, born in 1795, in Greene County, Tennessee, a daughter of James B and Ellender Broyles. Samuel built the first cold blast furnace on the Nolachuckey River in Washington County, Tennessee. A town grew up in that vicinity and was called Mauktown. In 1901 the town was washed away in a flood. Samuel died May 7, 1876, and Mary died in 1865. They had eleven children. p.III A-17
