Clearing a Path

   / Clearing a Path #71  
Good question, the wife has been trying to find the history of the property.

There is also remnants of an old barn and outhouse on the property, along with a graveyard with a stone wall around it with dates in the 1800s. I've also found bricks and a concrete structure half buried in the pasture.

I don't think the structure in the pic was the main house, more likely slave/worker house as it's a couple hundred yards from the area that I think was the original homestead.

odd thing is there is also a dilapidated metal shed next to that shack that looks like something from the 70's
If the land abstract still exists,(or is recorded with the county recorders office) it is a history of owners from the time of government land grants to the previous owner. The current owner is added after they sell.

Yes, chest height and I’m 6’2
The rule of logging calls for a tree girth to be measured at 5' above ground. You're about right at your height.
