I just found out yesterday that I have an old family farm there.
And I found out that my Great Great Great Grandfather came from Germany to Rowan. He settled there and was a "legend" in the area.
"Big Henry Shoaf"
7 feet tall
400lbs
Blacksmith
Could chuck an anvil out the window.
There's a story that he was shoeing a horse that nobody else could control... The horse kicked him in the chest, breaking a rib, to which he responded by flipping the horse over with one fell swoop.
Anybody heard anything like this?
My last grandparent recently passed and I was given all the cool family history stuff.
