Regarding Edmondson Hall. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
In 1847 thirty-one year old WilliamCampbell Edmondson from Tazewell County, Virginia and his eighteen year old bride Susan settled in Washington County where for $4,000 they purchased from the estate of James Glenn 383 acres of land on Cedar Creek. The Edmondsons may have moved to Washington County in 1847 because Susan had inherited land there from her grandfather John Preston. In 1850 W.C. Edmondson purchased an adjoining parcel of 50 acres for $600. By that year he owned thirteen slaves, farmed 180 acres of improved land, and his farm was valued at $5,500. William and Susan lived in a household in 1850 that included their one year old son John, and William's 67 year old father Andrew. The Edmondsons built a new bam valued at $ 100 by 1854. They built the new house that would come to be known as Edmondson Hall in 1857 when it was valued at $2,800.
