The Nash Iron Works
The Nash Iron Works was built in 1847—was operated by Boose and Ab Nash—and was located eighteen miles west of Jefferson on the Coffoeville road.
The main output consisted of wash pots, all kinds of kettles and kitchen utensils, and cannon balls.
In connection with the Iron Works, there was operated a pottery, where plates, bowls, pipes and jugs from 1 quart size to ten gallons, were made.
Those plants were in operation during the war, but no records exist as to how long after the war.
