FEWELL - REYNOLDS PLANTATION
The Reynolds family have built a number of handsome homes, but one, on the south side of the Dan River, near Sardis Church, was built by a Fewell many years ago and came into the possession of James Reynolds when he married Miss Susannah Fewell. James bought the house after his wife died.
This house is of frame construction, three stories in height, a millstone for the doorstep and a fan light over the door.
A spiral stairway, hand-carved, rises two stories to the spacious attic.
The mantels and much of the woodwork are hand-carved. Several of the rooms are quite large, 20 by 20
feet with an abundance of light from many windows.
Some rooms were painted in pinks and greens.
===
When the Fewells moved to Tennessee (now Missouri), they took a great number of slaves, a barrel of gold pieces and their favorite dog. The dog got out of the carriage and ran under a house. The family grieved for him, but in a week he was back on the Reynolds Plantation.

(info below from Jan Bellard)
"Benjamin Fewell,b. 1769 in Culpeper County, 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 County., N.C. 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.
