Charley Cottle, a great grandson who visited the site with me, said that in early days when it was legal to make brandy and whiskey, that the spring afforded water for the still, and many a gallon of good brandy and liquor was made at the spring.
JosephCottle wisely selected a beautiful site in the Cottle Bend for his home and to start the Cottle family which today is a large and honorable one.
JosephCottle is buried about a 100 yeards from where he built his cabin, where Boyd Johnson now lives.
