I have some information on The Bloody Bucket. My mother was from Springfork, not far from Quick Sand on one of the Twin Branches. Her family were the Ritchies'. Her father was Gilber Ritchie "Big Man". The information I can share with you is The Bloody Bucket got it's name from people being murdered. It as a Honky Tonk. It was on Troublesome, towards Hazard.
