"In the tax lists for the year 1774 John Donelson was listed at the Bloomery--Hugh Henry overseer, Thomas Bolton, John Holloway, Aaron Tredway and seven slaves." The Bloomery was established by Col. John Donelson in 1773 and sold to James Calloway and Jeremiah Early for 4,000 pounds sterling in 1779, who renamed it the "Washington Iron Works". Id.

Wikimedia.org contributor MarmadukePercy has made available a number of excellent photographs of the remains of these iron works: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Washington_Iron_Works_Franklin_County_Virginia.JPG
