Recently, while looking through the Library of Virginia web site, I found a report for the Works Progress Administration of Virginia Historical Inventory, completed in 1937 by Anne M. Davidson. The subject of the three page document was the J. N. Marcum (Markham) home located 12 miles west of Jonesville, on the south side of Route #601, according to the report. A note in the report stated that the house had been built from lumber said to have been sawed for the Court House plan. The original owner, and probable builder, was Elisha Adams, my g/g/g/grandfather, who most likely built the dwelling sometime between 1809 - 1815. He sold the house and property to his son, William Adams in 1835. From that time, there were five more owners. At the time of the 1937 report, the owner was J. N. Marcum as noted. It was indicated that the house was in very good condition. Elisha Adams owned more than 200 acres in the White Shoals area, apparently near where Hardy Creek enters the Powell River. (I think Hardy Creek was originally called Trading Creek). I wonder if anyone knows where the house was located, and if there is any possibility that it is still standing. Wayne Adams
