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.
