Although I maintain my notes about family history on another blog/website – dianecox.net – I wanted to share this wonderful discovery.
In a book written over fifty years ago, the original home of my ancestors when they moved to Georgia from North Carolina is depicted in a rare book called Pine Log and Greek Revival. Only one copy of this book is available for sale and it is $300. I was delighted to find it at the Atlanta History Center and spent an enjoyable afternoon browsing through it. The best part was when I found the photo above – referencing my Wilkinson ancestors, who moved to Troup in 1828. This house most likely was built by Neal K. Wilkinson, my great, great grandfather about ten to fifteen years prior to the Civil War.
