He manufactured chewing tobacco from 1848-1874 and in 1875 he bought the old homeplace of Patrick Henry.... "Leatherwood." === Davis Stultz, as he was called by his friends, was born in this county in Leatherwood April 22nd, 1822. He was reared on a farm, and married Frances Harper Marshall, who tradition says was a great, grand-niece of Chief Justice John Marshall of the United States Supreme Court. William married Frances on Jan. 22nd, 1852. === He was one of the builders of the great reputation of the chewing tobacco of the county. His manufacturing plant was at the foot of Nance Mountain, and he conducted it here from 1848 till 1874. He commenced the enterprise in the old school house built by Dennis Marshall, his wife's grand-father. He lived in the house built by the great teacher in 1813, and here all his children were born. === He was a self-made man, and accumulated wealth easily. He built the mill on Smith river south of Martinsville at a cost of 30,000 dollars, and operated it for several years successfully. In 1875, he moved to the old homestead of Patrick Henry, in Leatherwood, and the next year, on June 16th, he died, and was buried in what was formerly Mr. Henrys garden.
