	Cotton Gin Port Chickasaw Indians at the Port
		Cotton Gin Port was located where a major Chickasaw trail crossed the Tombigbee in the shadow of a Chickasaw village where one of their most important chiefs had a home.
		The gin was constructed in 1801 under the supervision of Indian agent John McKee as a part of the federal government’s policy of encouraging the Indians to adopt commercial agriculture as an alternative to their traditional combination of horticulture, hunting, and gathering.
		Gin components were purchased in Natchez and hauled for hundreds of miles to the river crossing, which was accessible to the Chickasaw settlements and provided a means of shipping the ginned fiber downstream to Mobile.

	Method and apparatus for delivering cotton modules and cotton therefrom into a cotton gin - Patent 5590839 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The disbursed cotton is delivered to turbulent air in the plenum at the rear of the feeder housing and is thus fluffed and blended.
		The cotton is accumulated on the portion of the cart which temporarily forms a part of the bottom of the plenum chamber and is pushed to one side by an auger which progressively conveys the cotton into an air box separator located at the side of the feeder housing.
		Thus, when the cotton is removed from the bale 15 by the fingers 230, the cotton is accumulated in the plenum chamber on top of the bed 26 and is swept sidewise by the auger 250 into the air box separator 260.
