This is the Greenberry Homestead Memorial. The Greenberry Homestead was auctioned off and moved to a new location in Texas so a Memorial was placed in rememberance of its location. The two brown stones behind it are part of the original foundation.The Inscription on the memorial reads: "Greenberry Jenkins Home Site Greenberry Jenkins and wife Elizabeth Medford along with 5 children came to Texas from Morgan Country Alabama in the winter of 1840 or the early spring of 1841 and settled on a headright land grant of 640 acres given him by the republic of Texas under the colonization law. The land was located in nacogdoches county until Cherokee County was formed in 1846. While digging a well Greenberry was overcome by "The Damp", A form of coal gas fumes and was hurriedly pulled to fresh air. After that, his search for water continued for several days without success. Then in a vivid dream, Elizabeth saw a plot of land on which she felt the family was destined to live. She dreamed of a Walnut tree, a forked creed and a spring where the water bubbled forth cool and clear. Spurred by the dream Greenberry found the Walnut tree, the creek and the spring precisely as in Elizabeth's dream. This location not being on the 640 acres granted to Greenberry by the Republic of Texas. Not ot be deterred he purchased the 320 acre track joining his 640 acre grant, and in 1844 contstructed a log house on this spot. Eight additional children were born to Greenberry. 5 to Greenberry and Elizabeth and 3 to Greenberry and Mary Rosanna Love Evans. Greenberry married Mary Rosanna on Jan 18, 1856 after the death of Elizabeth on Aug 23, 1854. Four sons and a son-in-law served in the confederate army. The old house as it was called stood on this spot and was home to five generations until May of 1997 when it was purchased at atuction by the Robert and Becky Power family and moved to Van Zandt County, Texas where it is undergoing restoration."
