TENNESSEE CAST-IRON NITER'S KETTLE, deep, semi-hemispherical form with everted rim and two cylindrical ears/handle on either end, the lower quarter has a protruding mold mark around the circumference. First half 19th century. 18" HOA, 32" D.
Catalogue Note: This kettle descended in the consignor's family, and what follows is, in part, the history she passed on with it. "[The kettle] belonged to the Rev. Thomas Jefferson Waggoner of Davidson County, TN. He has quite the story. The Rev. T J Waggoner was born July 1, 1807 and was murdered Dec. 20, 1862 by renegade Union soldiers from Ohio, the outlaw soldiers were led by “Bose” (Beverly) Haley. There was a much publicized murder trial in Nashville. Considering the Union controlled Nashville at the time, it's no surprise none of the renegade Union soldiers were convicted. My 4th great grandmother was home and witnessed the murder of her father and was even on the witness stand but apparently she wasn’t believed. There were several prostitutes called to the stand and they were apparently convincing that Haley and his cohorts were with them instead. The Nashville Dispatch newspaper covered the trial and it makes for fascinating reading. I am trying to see if there are actual trial transcripts in Nashville because I have heard all my life a lot of oral history about the murder and trial and I wonder what’s in the actual transcript (if it even exists)."
Very good overall condition with scattered moderate rust and pitting.
