James Daniel Hood and Margaret Rebecca Emery Coke lived in Rhea County when they were first married and had two children. They moved to Meigs County in the Big Springs community across the river from where James' family lived and here they had four more children. They were a farming family and their farm was on what is now called Ridge Road in Big Springs. They had an orchard with several varieties of apples, plums, pears, and peaches in addition to the normal things raised on farms at that time. James also did blacksmithing and would cut timber in the fall and winter. [from The History of Meigs County, Tennessee and It's People 1836 - 1997.]
