Another relative: Amelia Arnold Hightower (Holt, Calhoun) is my 2nd cousin, 5x removed. My mother (92 years old and going strong) is a Hightower. She will be fascinated with this. She and I are both quilters but have never seen or heard of this story. Amelia's great-grandfather is William Calvin Hightower who married Susannah Hanks. That Hanks line leads to Nancy Hanks Lincoln and dear President Abe Lincoln (my 4th cousin, 5x removed.)
