This could be the Dr. Henry Mitchell farmstead. He was one of founders of Williamson County. The house was built around 1829, used as an underground railway station for runaway slaves before and during the Civil War. We rented this house from 1970-1973. It still had a lot of the original furniture in it, Dr. Mitchells Medical books and equipment and a portrait of him. Bob and Betty Mitchell, brother and sister, co-owned the homestead while we lived there. It has so much historical value. I went back there 5 years ago and one of Bob Mitchell's sons happened to be there. He was really sad, and said much of the inside was decaying. It's such a shame that the national historical society or the daughters of the civil war didn't step up as this place was amazing. I don't know what they named the road, but if you headed east through Corinth past the Thompsonville and Paulton Roads, it was the very next road to the right on the first curve. You had to make a really sharp right turn in the middle of the curve. When we lived there, it was the first house on the left. There were houses built on the road the last time I was there before you got to it.
This is Cedar Hurst the home of Dr. Mitchell. Still standing in 2020 but a sink hole has appeared under is from an old cistern. This piece of history is not long for this earth. Such a shame.
