Fitzgerald. More rooms had been added at a later date. This house is located on the farm of W. E. Heflin on Howard Creek three miles south of Winchester on the east side of the Boonesboro Pike and three-quarter mile from the Pike.

"Tennessee, The Volunteer State, Vol 1, page 234, and is quoted:
"Doublehead, a Chicamauga chief, recruited a party of about one hundred warriors and moved to his favorite field on the frontiers of Cumberland and Kentucky, and was responsible for all the mischief done in those quarters during the spring of 1794. On the 12th of March he formed an ambuscade near Middleton's Station, on the road from Kentucky to Hawkins' Courthouse, and firing upon the post rider and twelve travelers who were in his company, killed four men, two of them - Elders Haggard and Shelton - being Baptist preachers." This Haggard was known to be Rev Martin Haggard, son of Nathaniel Haggard (1721-1806). Hawkins' Courthouse was near Richland Creek, Tennessee.
