Descendants of the Hares have a family tradition that Starkey’s family originally occupied a log cabin here. Indeed, there is a log structure behind the main house. Although a small corn crib now, the logs clearly came from an earlier, larger structure and were reassembled into the current form. The joinery in this building is similar to those from the area of North Carolina that all these folks came from. Left: old log structure later reassembled into corn crib. Right: Starkey S. Hare grave After Starkey S. Hare’s death in 1850, some of his family remained in this area,
but others moved on to Arkansas.
Mr. Hare, his wife, and several family members are buried here.

from web site of Ronnie and Bonnie Weaver Mebane-Nuckolls House
“It is now our assumption that the earliest brick building is probably from the 1830’s, twenty years before the Mebanes ever lived in West Tennessee.”
