Summary
In April 2007, forum members noticed an eBay listing for a purported church pew bracket from the former House of David settlement on High Island. The discussion questioned the seller’s description, whether the object had been removed from state land, and whether it might instead relate to another structure or later occupants.
Evidence limits
This preserves a contemporaneous provenance dispute, not proof that the listed object came from High Island, that it was a pew, or that it was legally removed.
