VOL. 5 NO. 11 Local Historian Announces Important Discovery
When local historian Edga Calhoun began to study the history of the old Netherland Inn, in Old Kingsport, he had no idea that the research would lead to what may be a far more important historical discovery.
"Mr. Judd of the Department of Interior and Head of the Park Service suggested that we seek out old residences and compare the structure," Calhoun said, "so I thought of the Old Patton House in Carters Valley. I had always thought that the old house bad belonged to Dr. George Patton, and that his children were born there. But when I asked Mr. Victor Patton where he was born, he told me that he and all the children of the well - known doctor were born in Kingsport. Then I knew I was on the track of something "
Calhoun was indeed on the track of something. His research, borne out by records in the Register's Office at Blountville, has established the fact that the old house was built and occupied by Rev. Samuel Patton, who headed up the Holston Conference of the Methodist Church for some 35 years. "Several books have been written about Rev. Samuel Patton," Calhoun said, "and they all give Sullivan County as his home. At least one of the books identifies the. home as "Spring Place", but no one has ever been able to pin point its location. All we knew was that the home was located somewhere in Sullivan County."
Samuel Patton was born on January 27, 1797, in Lancaster County, South Carolina. He was the son of John Patton, who had moved at an earlier date from Pennsylvania. At thirteen, young Patton decided to become a preacher, and decided to join the Methodist Church. His family was prejudiced against the domination[sic], but finally gave in to his wishes, so in 1813 he was admitted into the church as a probationer.
Later, the Patton family moved to the backwoods country of Middle Tennessee, where young Samuel worked on his father's farm.
In 1819, at the age of 18, Samuel felt again the call of God, and a year later he was licensed to preach.
After some years of experience in Middle Tennessee, he was appointed to the Clinch Circuit, including parts of Tennessee and parts of Virginia.
In 1823, he married Nancy Morrison of Sullivan County, and sometime before 1825 built a home here, naming it " Spring Place ". Calhoun's discovery establishes that the old house.on Carters Valley Road is the long forgotten " Spring Place ". Located about 3/4 mile from Clouds Ford, toward Morrison City, the old log home is still in reasonably good repair. Built in two sections, the log house had three large rooms downstairs, and one room upstairs in the older part, and the second section consists of six rooms, two on the ground floor and four upstairs. Most of the house is constructed of oak logs, which were órginially chinked with clay, which has long since been replaced by mortar. An eighteen inch poplar log near the center of the walls height leads Calhoun to believe that a large porch was probably built across the front of the building when it was constructed.
Rev. Patton, one of the real pioneers of the Methodist Church in the Holston Conference, was one of the best known and most respected men of his day. He died in 1854, and was buried at the Morrison Chapel Graveyard, In the history of the Methodist Church; his name is remembered as that of a Pastor, Presiding Elder, Editor, Author, and Legislator.
A Centennial Memorial erected by the Holston Conference at his grave bears the inscription" Servant of God, Well Done" Perhaps the old house, constructed by Patton himself, is a better memorial of days that are gone, and will never come again.

On 23 June 1850, Martha Elizabeth Shaver (fifth child of Jacob and Thurza) married to Andrew
Jackson "Jack" Tucker (son of Robert Tucker and Sarah Pelphrey).
In 1852, Martha Elizabeth and her husband Jack Tucker headed to California. He reportedly deserted
her en route or was forced to leave the wagon train for mistreating her. She gave birth to a son, Alfred
Lafayette ("Lafe") in Green River, Utah Territory (now in Sweetwater County, Wyoming) in July of that
year, and proceeded on to California. She married in California in 1856 to James Ervin Burnham, a
miner, and settled in Calaveras County (in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, not far from where the
Gold Rush began just a few years earlier). She was joined in California soon afterwards (probably in
1856 or 1857) by her brother John P. Shaver (Jacob and Thurza's seventh child), who also tried his hand
at mining.

"Gone But Not Forgotten
Ozark, Ark., March 23, 1919
In memory of our dear mother, Mrs. Theresa Malinda Kizer, who departed this life March 3, 1919, at her son's Mr. Taylor Kizer. She had been a sufferer for about 15 years, but gradually grew worse until at last her spirit took its flight to the great beyond where there is no sorrow, pain nor death. Oh, how she did suffer, no one can tell. I was at her bedside a great deal and all was done that loving hands could do, but all in vain. She knew every thing until about one hour before she died; if she had lived until the 13th day of March she would have been 83 years old. She leaves one brother and one sister; six children and a host of grandchildren and friends. Four of her children were present during her sickness and death. Mrs. M. J. Loyd of Jenks, Okla. and Mrs. Laura Anderson, of Floydada, Texas, came, but too late. She formerly made her home at her son's, John Kizer, but on the 8th of January she was taken to Taylor Kizer's to stay awhile. She visited around among her children.
Funeral service was conducted by Brother Jim McClellan, at the Bourland graveyard, where a large number was gathered to pay the last respect; after that she was laid to rest beside her hus-band, who departed this life 24 years ago. To know her was to love her. Loving words and ad-vice she would give her children and grandchildren.
Weep not, children, mother can't come back to you, but you can meet her where there is on more good-byes.
She was born in Washington, Ark.; moved to Franklin county when about 13 years of age. Her mother died when she was a small girl and she stayed with her father until she was about 22 years old.
. . . – Written by one who loved her."
She was buried next to her husband William M. Kizer in the Bourland Cemetery in Cravens community.

Of Thurza Malinda's six brothers, family tradition says that five fought for the Confederacy. However, her brother Joseph Phenius (who married William Kizer's sister Nancy) enlisted with Company K of the Kansas Infantry (Union) on 14 December 1863. The family story is that Nancy encouraged him to fight for the Union side in order to get a pension (figuring they would win the war). Joseph's father Jacob Shaver reportedly disowned him as a result. Joseph was mustered out on 17 June 1865 in Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas and never did return to live in Franklin County.
