The Amos Deason House is a historic one-story house in Ellisville, Mississippi, U.S.. It was built in 1855–1860, and designed in the Greek Revival architectural style.[1] According to the Hattiesburg American, it is "the oldest house in Jones County."[2] During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, Confederate Major Amos McLemore was assassinated by Newt Knight in the house in 1863.[2] As a result, the house is reportedly haunted,[2] with "unexplained noises, sightings, voices, blood and cold spots and other occurrences."[3] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 5, 1984. It was donated to the Daughters of the American Revolution in the 1990s.[2]
