This is the Gronow - Andrews property on the south side of Yellow Springs Road. See the Table F.2 Gronow – Andrews Property for the deed history. In 1818 and 1819 Samuel Davis placed 5 newspaper advertisements to sell this farm. These attempted sales were not successful. The plantation was not sold until 1820, which was after Samuel Davis' death.
