The house that was built in 1864 and moved across the road in 1882 was the one that most of the nine children were born in. It remained there until March 1890 then moved to Cape Traverse . The writer was a lad of ten it was a memorable day to see 80 horses harnessed together to haul the house a distance of two miles the farmers came as far distant as Fernwood , Serletown, Albany, Tryon , Augustine Cove and Cape Traverse . When the word go was given the 80 horses all started together and never halted until it was on the spot. The idea was that there was no need of lathing the house because the plaster could be put on directly over the wood surface However, the plaster did not stay very well and John D., erected a two story frame dwelling in 1882 which still stands, the resid¬ ence of Hedley and Harold Muttart. The beautiful elms which shade the house were planted (little whips of things) shortly af¬ ter the house was built. The batten house was moved across the road and later sold and moved away and it too still stands in law, the residence of Harry Crossman in Cape Traverse . John D. Muttart 's wife, Mary Jane Leard of Tryon , was the daughter of John Leard and Margaret Muttart of the Creek Tryon , and a first cousin to her husband.
