Davies Manor

Davies Manor is the oldest extant home in Shelby County, Tennessee, United States, and possibly the oldest anywhere in the region of West Tennessee.〔(Davies Manor ), ''Tennessee Encyclopedia'', 2002. Accessed 2007-09-27.〕 It is a two-story log and chink home made using white oak logs on what was once a plantation with a total of approximately .〔(Official Davies Manor Website )〕
==Origins==
Historians of Shelby County do not know who originally built the home,〔 although some sources state that it was built by Indians in 1807.〔 This legend likely came from the fact that an Indian trail did run nearby, and Dr. Julius Augustus Davies, one of the men who lived in the home, was an avid collector of Indian artifacts. In 1821, North Carolina granted 600 acres of land to Thomas Henderson in return for his Revolutionary War Service. In 1830, Henderson sold 320 acres of this land to Emmanuel Young, who allowed the taxes to lapse. It is likely that either Henderson or Young built the original one-room log cabin, which is now the parlor of the manor house.
Shelby County tax collector Joel W. Royster purchased the home in January 1831, expanding the house from one room to two stories by 1837.〔 A locater's deed shows the purchase of Shelby County land by William E. Davies in 1838, but the 1850 census lists Davies living with his family in Fayette County. It is generally accepted that William's two sons, Logan Early Davies (age 14) and James Baxter Davies (age 12), came to and from Fayette County on Stage Road (now part of Highway 64) to farm the land. In 1851, Logan and James bought the land with the house on it from Royster, creating what became known as Davies Plantation. At its heyday, the plantation was approximately .〔 As many as 23 enslaved African-Americans lived on the property prior to the Civil War, during the days of American slavery.
