Notes:
                   From a book title Calmes by Luella Lowther FHL SLC,Ut. digital book comes:
"In the year 1805, Robert Clark entered into a disastrous partnership with William Smith in operatio of the Red River Iron Works in Easter Kentucky. In the venture Clark suffered financial ruin.  He died the following year and Smith brought suit against his estate, forcing the sale of the farm which was purchased by Henry W. Calmes for the sum of $2,287.00.
The Calmes family was descendantgs of a French Huguenot nobleman, Marquis de la Calmes and his wife, Winnifred Waller. Their son William married Lucy Neville and they became parents of eight children-six sons and two daughters. Among the sons were Marquis Calmes (early settler at Indian Old Fieldws) and Henry Waller Calmes, who lived on Lower Howards' Creek.
Near theold stone "mystery" house is another stone building of equal interest.  It was known as the loom house. Here the home produced flax and wool were spun into thread on the spinning wheels and woven into cloth on the homemade looms. The coarse, durable clohte, called linsy woolsey, was used for making clothing. From the loom lhouse came the supply of household linens, blankets, coverlids, etc. Many of the pioneer households were completely divorced from a money economy and each family unit was almost entirely self-sustaining.  Henry Waller Calmes lived on this farm until his death, September 20, 1831.  Elizabeth Calmes died January 23, 1847.  They are buried in the family graveyard on the farm."
