It was purchased from the North Carolina government of King George III, before the American Revolution. It remained in the family until the final tract was sold in 2023. He received his BA from Emory and Henry College and has served on the boards of various charities. He does not claim to be a historian, but instead, the chronicler of family stories, told from generation to generation while the family worked in fields and gardens. Being the last of his generation to know the stories, he put pen to paper, to prevent Matilda and her family from being lost to time. He continues to live in Johnson City, Tennessee.view less
