Shared note	Nashville Daily American, February 13, 1876 Ripley, Tennessee, NEWS. "Mr. Eli Lucas is the owner of a pair of tongs, purchased by his wife's father, in 1800, from a Revolutionary tory by the name of Black who moved from South Carolina to middle Tennessee. The tongs were purchased by Black in Charleston during the Revolutionary War and although they have been in constant use since purchased by Mr. Lucas, have required repairs but one time."
