Box 93 Winnsboro SC 29180 www.rootsweb.com/~scfairfi/scfairfield.htm Title: Fairfield Sketchbook Author: Bolick, Julian Stevenson, with introduction by Kathleen Lewis Sloan Publication: Reprinted 2000 (1st ed.1963), Fairfield County Historical Society, Winnsboro, South Carolina Note: Sketches of historic homes, family histories, detailed index. Page: p. 269 Text: John Feaster built a two story frame building near the Cemetery, about 1806. This house had the first glass window panes north of Beaver Creek, and people came for many miles around to see them. Also, an American eagle, in colors, was painted on the ceiling of the front porch, and when the Northern troops came through during the War Between the States, they did not burn the house for this reason. |
