This was the birthplace of my great-great-grandmother Rebecca Kellam Stevens (1856-1931) and probably of her father, Thomas Hatton Kellam, Jr.(1819-1907), as well, having been in the Hack-Muir-Hatton-Kellam family since the 1700s. Thomas H. Kellam, Jr. lost this home due to financial difficulties following the Civil War, ca. 1874. The home was built by his great-great-grandfather, Adam Muir (1705-1772), believed to have been born in Scotland, who married Francina Hack (1706-1784), whose grandfather, Lt. Col. George Nicholas Hack, patented the land on which "Evergreen" is located. The Muirs and their daughters were the first known family members to be buried in the family plot near the home.
