When I heard the part about being churched I thought about the church I grew up in in the minutes from the early 1900s it tells of a man that was brought before the church for drinking and was told he needed to apologize for it he said yes I took a drink but will.not apologize to anyone for it

Great video. I am distantly related to almost all of the families mentioned.

It's sad the beautiful house is so run down

Beautiful mountains

Love the video,,,mississipp here

LOVE TOUR, READY TO MOVE IN !!😊😊 THAT'S A HOME, MY FAMILY IS FROM WEST VIRGINIA. 😊😊

Wilson /Jarrett are both family names.

Omg..OK it is. JARRETT is my family name.

My ancestors were early settlers of greenbrier county. I wonder if that's one of my ancestors. The name hamilton sounds familiar.

You left out the Calloways. Thomas Calloway was my 6th great grandfather and was Daniel Boones best friend. The Calloways and Boones intermarried and were one of the very first families in the Watauga area.

Beautiful old home 😊

Meant Lenor.

Horse hair couches are scratchy...my grandparents had a scratchy couch.

Love her…How sweet

Gorgeous home…i loved her….She really is lovely…

wow!! such a beautiful home a mansion really! I hope someone buys it and restores it to its original condition. It's an awesome place!!💖

I agree about the mountain independent gene. In my highland genes for sure. My wife is low country South Carolina and her ways of looking at things are much different. Mountain folk are no nonsense straight forward thinking people.

My family settled in the memoir area and had been in Kentucky and Randolph County.

How rare and beautiful! Thank you for sharing! The French painting techniques is Trompe l'oeil, translation: to fool the eye. In this case, into thinking it is wood grain 😊.

Gorgeous property!

WOW THE LAND . SO BEAUTIFUL ..

Great stories. I sure enjoyed watching this

Such a pretty and graceful lady. I know a good heart when I see it, and a beautiful soul❤

My maiden name is Spence and was born in Wytheville Virginia. Now I'm wondering if we are from the same family tree? Have never looked into my family tree so I have no idea 🤷‍♀️

Great video

Rural churches are the best

Great stories! I am a descendent of Isaac Thomas 1/2 Cherokee and the last of our family’s keeper of days past. I am In 1985 my Great Uncle Paul Thomas our Keeper Of Days Past died. As the oldest of three brothers I was the next Inline as Keeper of Days past. In 2009 my father asked me to write down the stories and get them published, so the stories will never be lost. The next morning my father was eating breakfast and died a short time later. I tell you this, because the stories are all we have, protect them. In May of 2018 I self published Lost Warrior part 1, in October of 2018 I self published Lost Warrior Part 2 Last Days of Greatness. The third is Lost Warrior Sons of Fire is a manuscript.

Oh my gosh! The beauty of the house and property is stunning. I could live in that house as is. I love the simplicity of the rooms. Thanks for sharing in this video. Magnificent ❤❤❤

This place is gorgeous ❤

Lovely lady and amazing tour. Just subscribed!

Good job. Very interesting and informative.

I would love to post your video on my channel. I am starting a new channel and I am featuring local history and especially the sulphur springs. Could I post this on my channel?? Please and thank you.

That's where my Mom's folks were from. The Choates and the Taylors, and some Holbrooks and Edwards. Most of the names mentioned here sound familiar because of Mom and her family mentioning them. Her branch of the family moved to northern Maryland in the early 1900's but they never forgot Sparta and Allegheny Co. I miss the great stories. Thank you so much for this beautiful reminder.❤

If you havent done a video/tour of Henderson Hall in Williamstown WV you really should! The history of it is quite substantial and amazing. And it has been kept how it was in the 1800s down to the collected hair of one of the occupants that she would keep when brushing her hair nightly. I grew up a mile from Henderson Hall (on land that was once part of the Henderson Plantation) and have toured it probably 30 times, yet still learn and see something new every single time I enter it.

Is anyone living there?

Maybe the tin was to reflect the heat? I don't know. Just a guess.

This home deserves a complete restoration from top to bottom. Beautiful!!

I love the rich history of these homes

Gosh, hope family keeps and further restores this beautiful homestead.

I hope someone can fully restore this beautiful old home. That would be tully worth seeing.

Born and raised in Iowa, on a century farm, in a 120 year old farm house, in the middle of a corn field. It is common for old farm houses to have outdoor access into bathrooms and basement bathrooms, so farmers could wash up right there and not drag the farm through the house with them! 😂 The small community I live in now, 10 minutes away from my parents farm I grew up on, has a rich history of farmers too. A lot of the 80-100 year old houses in the center of town, were built as working homes. The back of my home, you can walk through into the basement bathroom/washroom. There's even an old clothes line system along the ceiling, that is probably around 80 years old.

I hope someone restores her. ❤️

So beautiful!

Omg , I remember that scratchy fabric furniture. My grandparents had a gray scratchy couch. Too funny. When she said her grandparents had a sort of scratchy fabric chair I immediately had a flashback and a warm fuzzy memory. Thanks for the tour and the history. Loved it

The good thing is the WF Norman company in Missouri still makes that tin So even though it’s rusting through you can still get it thank God.🎉❤

I lived in a house similar to that in Wyoming it was on the cross ranch outside of Douglas , five generations lived and died in it all the belongings were in it it was so crazy ,, I’ll never forget it

Love these memories, keep them coming! ❤ History lives

This was fascinating!!!

It is possible, that as brick houses/ wooden homes were less desirable, they used tin as a design choice to change the look of the house and ass to its charm, and, make it easier to care for as the tin was easier to care for and more water proofed. This is just my guess, but dang it, I am going to go check! Really cool house! If I were rich, I’d come buy it, refurnish it All, period style, but love living in it and having family there! As well as maybe building a small bed and breakfast cottages one room houses for history lovers to visit the area, the house, and find out all I could historically about the are! Also get it listed on the historical preservation society list and, provide for its upkeep. I love old house like this!

A Wonderful Video ! Loved it ! Thank you for this Fine Blessing ! 🐎*...
