Sorry Captain Bull

[FROG MAN]

Captain Bull a Delaware Indian chief settled the little community next door of Bulltown. Bulltown is famous for the civil war battle fought there.Our road has always been named Hemp Patch. Maybe this is where they raised there crop for the peace pipe. Anyway after living here most of my life we voted to change the name to Horseshoe Falls Lane.Were finally getting a fire locator address and took the opportunity to change.The wife never liked the name but I think my neighbor still carries on it's growing tradition for his peace pipe. :rotf:

There is an unincorporated area and a voting district near where I live known as Hemp Town. Hemp was an important crop in early America. Thomas Jefferson grew hemp as one of his main crops.-Jack

Hemp wasn't used for smoking, back then. It was imported to the colonies, for use in making ropes. Tribes used tobacco for ceremonies. Smoking hemp was a European/African thing.

Froggie's neighbors will give you a different version. And show you that Hemp is still a major crop!!!

Hemp is also used to make a linen-like fabric-marvelous stuff.

Hemp is used in many ways. I like using Hemp body and hand lotions along with goats milk lotions. But just could not see using a address Hemp Patch Run Rd, Ireland, WV. If you are using a gps though that will show up on it. Horseshoe Falls Lane, Ireland WV sounds so much better when you are telling someone your address. The story is that the Indians liked to grow Hemp in this hollow that is about 2 miles long.
