I am putting the finishing touches on a public statement next Wednesday in Lovingston, and in regard to Nelson-County History, I want to reference that Charles Ellett had something to do with building the James River Kanahwa Canal.  Somewhere in the black hole that passes for my filing system, I recall a statement that he was chief engineer for the section of the canal between the Tye River (New Market) and Lynchburg, then fell out with the management and quit.

BUT I cannot put my finger on where I read this.  Can anybody confirm or deny the story for me?
