Seems that I remember hearing a tale/myth/legend that the blacksmith
wouldn't forge nails for Jesus' cross but his wife did forge the nails. Has
anyone else heard that or is my imagination working overtime?

Peter Ross and the folks at Williamsburg have done a lot of research about
Colonial America. A call to them might provide some info.They probably are
on the Internet, does anyone know?
