farmhouse
The Byers farm was located just North of Fairfield Road, the deed being
recorded September 27, 1769, one-half penny per acre was the price paid
for the land. The Rebels had possession for the three days during the
battle and used the house and barn for hospital purposes for about five
weeks. The hospital had 100 patients for three weeks, fifty men for two
weeks, and then all were removed. Although the barn has long since
disappeared, the house and one old outbuilding remain. It is private
property today
