"Benjamin Fewell,b. 1769 in Culpeper Cty, VA, married Ann Wall and had nine children. One of his sons, William Fewell b. 1792 was a prosperous planter and built a beautiful home in Rockingham Cty., NC around 1820. In 1839, William Fewell left for Tennessee (later MO) and deeded the home to his daughter, Susannah Fewell Reynolds. Susan died in 1853 and her husband, James T. Reynolds bought the home from William Fewell in 1856. The house has been cited as a notable example of regional, federal and domestic architecture and contains finely crafted woodwork that has remained intact and in good condition over the years. In the 1980's, the Historic Preservation Foundation of NC sold the Fewell-Reynolds House to a couple who were to renovate the home and make it their residence. The home was purchased under protective covenants to ensure its long term preservation. I visited the site of the home in June of 2008, and was sad to see it is not being renovated nor restored as promised. Please call or write The Historic Preservation Foundation of North Carolina, P.O Box 27644, Raleigh, NC 27611-7644 ph(919) 832-3652 and ask them to support the renovation of this historic home."
