History

The first owners of the house are recorded to be Jeremiah and Nancy Lassiter. Nancy was born in 1799 and Jeremiah was a stockholder with the Real Estate Banking Company of South Alabama in 1838. Curiously, the original land grants signed by J.Q. Adams in 1825 are to people who are not recorded as part of the Lassiter family, that being one “Mills Harrod” and an “(unintelligible) Guff”. Nevertheless, the house was subsequently owned by Peyton and Elizabeth (Betty) Anne Whetstone, then Joseph Baker Parker, Jr. and Mary “Minnie” Anna Parker, followed by Tilly (Bates) Park, Annie Lee (Parker) and Carlton Clyde (C.C.) Jones, and finally Minnie Evelyn (Jones) and George Treadwell. As of 1988, the property is in possession of George E. Treadwell of Emory, Virginia.
