David, My Uncle, Earl Alexander and his family lived in the Callens house behind the cemetary and Baptist church for a short time, maybe a year or so. We would go down and spend the night , me and siblings. It was so interesting to be in the house. It had an upstairs and remember the long kitchen, Aunt Catherine would cook in. We would go over to the church and cemetary to play. Ha Lot of our ancestors were sleeping there. Is the house still there? Was it ever restored.

Nedra, The house you are referring to belonged to my g/g/grandparents, John A. and Elizabeth Jane Copeland Stanfield. He died about 1894 and she in 1916. Their son, James Wallace "Jimbuck" Stanfield lived there until about 1943. The property and perhaps the house belonged to Josiah Alexander before John Stanfield bought same. The Callens house was located on the old Patton Ferry Road near where the Cagles lived if you know where that is. I can give you better directions if you can give me another house or two in this community. When I first remember, about 1943, Ken Ferrell lived in the Callens House. Milton Davis fixed it up about the end of the 2nd war and it burned about 1946-48, somewhere along that time.
