For the better Richard.
Family ancestors arrived here in Jonesborough in 1747 and my house is on land once owned by an ancestor.
Guess you could say I came home.

That is a wonderful story, welcome home! When I came to the US I settled in NJ. When we were married in 1969 we had an appointment in Wayne NJ, After Thanksgiving my new wife and I visited the Dey Mansion, pronounced Dye. Richard Dye was a general for Peter Stuyvesant who settled NYC when it was called New Amsterdam. Needless to say we were treated royally at the museum. A good story but not as good as yours, enjoy TN. We have lived in NJ, NY, OK, SC and NC but love TN.
 
I was glad to read on Monday that the Queens head in Corporation Street has reopened , what did surprise me is it's a Davenports house I did'nt thing they were still in business .
 
Just after the end of lockdown I had occasion to visit the Bulls Head on the corner of Bishopsgate Street and Tennant St (now apparently closed as a pub according to streetview). It was then a "Davenports " pub. I s[pke to the publican an dm from what I remember it was a member of the Davenports family that was entering the business. I think they said that the beers were being brewed for them . Presumably this is the same organisation

I would think so Mike after having Davenports deliver my "Beer At Home" some years ago , I could never really take to the taste . My reasoning for that was I thought they could never put this on tap and expect it to sell
