| Notes |
- Taylor house, located on the corner of 62 and Blanch Road.
William Osmond Smith's Aunts Anne, Mary Ivy, and Kennon compiled a book for family entitled The Rainey Gals, by Mary Rainey Swearingen. In this book of her memoirs she wrote about the house referenced above, her Grandmother Taylor's house. Her descriptions are perhaps of interest with regard to that house. I've been through the house, and it a good description of the house without the addition on the back.
"Grandpa and Granny Taylor lived about a good walking mile from us, just at the fork of the Milton and Yanceyville Road and the "round the lane" road to Purley...grandpa's house was a steep-roofed three storied building with a cellar beneath it. It had tall rock chimneys at each end. On these chimneys was the inscription 1776. There was a basement, or cellar of two rooms. The front room was the dining room and the back room was used for storage. ......years before Grandfather bought the Plantation the house was used as a Tavern or Inn to accommodate travelers riding in the stagecoach that carried the mail to Yanceyville and Hillsboro. "Old man Hop Lea" as he was commonly called, the proprietor of the Tavern or Inn was said to be very cruel to his slaves....
The first story or ground floor, which was two very big rooms and a wide hall between, was ceiled with very wide boards....perhaps twelve or fourteen inches wide. In my Grandmother's room, where we always sat unless there was real company, there was a huge rock fireplace with a big mantle over it. Beside the fireplace Grandpa sat by a little window that looked out on the main road and the tobacco barns, the well, the stables, and the back yard. ........Across the hall was the parlor, sacred to strange company, parties, funerals, Sunday's and beaux; and where peddlers were allowed to spread out their packs......The stairs were very narrow and very steep, beginning with two steps up, then a platform and a turn to the main flight. Back of the platform there was a door without knobs or hinges. I think it must have opened in to my Grandmother's room at one time but was now closed up on her side...When we got to the head of the stairs there was the boys room on the right hand side and on the left was the room for the girls, this room was big enough to hold four double beds."
She also refers to traveling to Richmond on the "Little Janie" through Sutherlin. Surely the narrow gauge train out of Milton. Apparently Sweet Mary's parents at one time lived at the Irvin Place. Milton?
Also, I have to find where she or someone, perhaps a different book, refers to a different year, earlier than the 1776 in the text above. The 1800s year of the replaced chimney was inscribed on a brick, the year of the new chimney. I wonder if the date was a typo in the book. At any rate the house seems to be 18th Century rather than 19th.
