THE ANTEBELLUM HOME
The Dunlap Manse is believed to have been constructed circa. 1830-1840 by Alexander Dunlap. According to research in the records of the Monroe County Courthouse, James A. Dunlap acquired various tracts on Indian Creek in 1838, (140 acres, 285 acres, 250 acres) referenced in deed book L at page 690. It seems that the farm came out of Alexander Dunlap's holdings.
