Re: Tucker Farmstead Evaluation, Uwharrie Ranger District, Uwharrie National Forest, Montgomery County, ER 16-0821
Dear Mr. Snedeker:
Thank you for your email of June 8, 2016, regarding the above-referenced undertaking. We have reviewed the materials submitted and offer the following comments.
Based on the additional information submitted, the Tucker Farm does not appear to be historically significant. The removal of original finishes and materials from the farmhouse interior and alterations to the property over time have diminished the property’s integrity.
As the outbuildings associated with the property have been altered and no longer constitute an intact collection of agricultural buildings, the property is not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Thus, we have no comment regarding the proposed undertaking.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment, contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-807-6579 or [email protected]. In all future communication concerning this project, please cite the above referenced tracking number.
Sincerely,
Ramona M. Bartos cc: Joel Hardison, [email protected]

Name of Undertaking National Forest & County & Ranger District USGS Quadrangle Tucker Farmstead National Forests in North Montgomery County/ Architectural Carolina /Uwharrie Ranger Badin Quad Documentation & NRHP District Evaluation
FS INFRA: R2016081110010
Description of Undertaking: proposed activities, description of APE, compartments, acres and/or miles of APE, acres and /or miles of field inventory. In 2016, the Uwharrie National Forest will acquire a tract of land within the Badin Quadrangle of Montgomery County, one and one-half miles northwest of the Eldorado community. The property includes a known historic complex, the Tucker Farmstead, which was established in the last quarter of the Nineteenth Century. The farmhouse along with five other structures are still standing today. It was a working farmstead until the early 1970s, after which it is was used by a hunt club. Currently the farm house (structure A) and outbuilding (structure F) are utilized as temporary housing for hunt club members. All the standing structures are in various states of disrepair and pose a safety hazard. The structures were in need of evaluation for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
Personnel Involved, Titles, Dates of Fieldwork: Documented by: Joel Hardison, Zone Archaeologist, Croatan / Uwharrie NF 3/07-09/2016 Assisted by Forest Service Volunteers: Cindy Shoaf, Mike Shoaf, Boon Chesson and Dave Shockley.
Inventory Fieldwork Description: Methods, standard as in PA or Other (described in detail). USGS 1:24000 map attached showing surveyed area During the survey, measurements were taken of the buildings’ dimensions, as well as GPS points recorded on two opposing corners of each structure to locate their position on the map. Research has been done on the previous owners and users of the property. We have compiled deed research about the land and its uses. In addition, we have been able to contact people who were related to the Tucker farmstead, (Ruth Ann Grissom and Jim Tucker, Montgomery County residents). Jim was willing to provide an oral history of the site (Appendix D). Photographs, also attached, have been taken from all angles interior and exterior that provide insight about the construction and use of the buildings.
According to oral history the Tucker family lived on this property in 1840. The earliest recorded paper deeds located for this tract date to 1898 when Thomas E. Tucker acquired it from James A. Harris. Mr. Tucker then sold 5 3/5 acres of his original purchase on 4/10/1909 to Dark Springs Gold Mining Company. This 5 + acres is located on the southeastern side of the land tract. This original purchase was later expanded on by Mr. Tucker in 1928 when he acquired 68 additional acres from the heirs of Nancy Harris. After his passing, the land was then divided among his children ultimately winding up in Homer Tucker’s possession. Homer passed and left the property to his wife Marguerite McCall Rose and Son Thomas Tucker. Mrs. Rose living in Michigan at the time was an absentee owner until her son, Thomas, was old enough to inherit the land. Thomas died with no will so the property was inherited by his son, Mark. Mark Thomas Tucker died in 2006 and in his will left the property to his wife Marka Tucker. Marka passed away in 2007 with no will and the land was inherited by her mother Margaret June Eddy. Mrs. Eddy sold the property to the Landtrust of Central North Carolina in August of 2007. The Forest Service will take ownership of the parcel in 2016.
Historical Overview: Montgomery County census records indicate a fluctuating population of residents from 1790 to 1880. The highest number of residents during this time period occurred in 1830 with 10,919 recorded. This number reflects the influx of gold mining related workers who were lured into the county with the hopes of becoming wealthy quickly. By 1890, the county was saturated in gold mines with many of them on the decline. Census records at this time begin to show a pattern of stability in the population. Many of the county residents by 1900 had shifted into agrarian lifestyles. Farmers at this time relied heavily on family to provide labor on these lands. Houses throughout the county were being altered with additional space to accommodate growing families. The Tucker structures followed this same pattern. The original house located on this tract most likely consisted of a log structure but as the family grew to meet the needs of a growing farm the original house was dismantled and replaced with the western portion of the standing structure. It is estimated that the existing standing barn was also built at this time. Much like the majority of the farmsteads located in the county, the Tucker family added outbuildings based on the growing need to store machinery and animals for daily work. Also, as with many of the contemporaneous farms, more children meant additional room needed. It is estimated that the eastern addition of the house was built in the mid nineteen forties. Unlike many other examples, the Tucker farmstead and its associated buildings have been greatly altered in modern times by groups utilizing these structures as a hunt club base. Many existing farmsteads still exist today throughout the countryside and serve as better examples of rural agrarian life in rural Montgomery County. One excellent example of this is the home located at 1904 Ophir Road. This home’s design is virtually identical to the Tucker house. Please see appendix B for this house and for other examples.
Tucker Farmstead Photo Log: Please see attached photo documentation.
Environment: Watershed, drainage, elevation range, vegetation. The project area is located to the northwest of the Eldorado community. The area was historically cleared for agriculture and the current vegetation surrounding the structures is early successional forest consisting mainly of pine trees, less than 30 years old.
The farm sits within a stream terrace drainage. The drainage is the headwaters of McCleans Creek which runs south into the Uwharrie River then into the Yadkin Pee - Dee River. The closest permanent water source is a springhead south of the house.
Elevation ranges from 580 feet amsl to 600 feet amsl.
The farm sits on soil comprised of Georgeville Gravelly Clay Loam (Gg). This information is referenced from the 1930 Soil Survey of Montgomery County, North Carolina.
Results: Cultural Resources Recorded:
Structure A: Original house and two additions (southern and eastern ends) with three porches. Brick chimney on southern and eastern addition. Southern addition chimney has become central chimney. Hand hewn log beams on original house and southern additions. Circular saw cut beams on eastern addition. Native stone, brick, cement block and telephone pole segments are utilized as footers. House has a tin roof with four over four sash windows. Nails used in construction are a mixture of machine cut square head and round wire. Total length of house with additions is 56’ N/S by 44’ E/W. The roof is 23’ from ground to peak. Structures B, C, E, F and G are all vernacular architecture. Materials utilized in construction range from modern particle board, treated lumber and circular sawn lumber. Native stacked stone, brick, cement block and treated posts are used as footers. All structures have tin metal roofs. Structure B measure 30’.6” wide and 15’.6” from ground level to peak. Structure C is 46” wide and 84” tall. Structure E measures 10’ wide and rises to 13’ at its peak from ground level. Structure F is 24’.5” wide and 19’.7” to its peak from ground level. Structure G measures 50’.10” wide and rises from ground level to peak 23’.4”. All other detailed building dimensions are on file with the U.S. Forest Service Office, Troy, NC.

Undertaking Recommendations / Mitigation: Effect of Undertaking.
The farmstead structures (circa 1898 – 2007) are not NRHP eligible. The architectural documentation of the farmstead determined that there is no contributing information which could inform our current knowledge of the architectural record. The farmhouse was not built by a craftsman or by any significant individual. Numerous examples of this house style currently exist throughout Montgomery County and are used as residences. Many of these examples are in better condition than the Tucker example. There are locally abundant and better preserved examples. Please see appendix B for these examples. All structures on this tract have had significant additions and/or alterations and would not be considered as having their original integrity.
There would be no effect on properties eligible to the NRHP if the farm house and the other five associated structures are removed or razed.
The long term goal of this property would be to utilize it for public recreation. An interpretive plaque detailing historic land could increase visitor’s awareness.

After 1730, Euro American settlement of the region increased rapidly.
Historic Era
Eighteenth Century: European and Euro-American immigrants began to occupy the central and southern Piedmont around 1730. By the 1750s, the region was widely inhabited. The hilly land in the Uwharries was settled somewhat later than the more choice agricultural lands along the Yadkin-Pee Dee River and other major streams, but by the 1760s, much of the region that would become the UwhatTie National Forest was claimed and sparsely inhabited. Immigrants included second and third generation Americans from South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, as well as European immigrants, such as the Highland Scots and Ulster Scots. The Euro-Americans also brought enslaved African Americans into the region with them.
The Uwharrie Mountains were part of Anson County until Montgomery County was formed in 1779 (Figure IH-2). The Carolina Piedmont experienced much unrest in the 1760s as residents reacted to the inequitable way in which taxes were being collected and corruption by local colonial officials. The unrest led to protests, and eventually anned conflicts, as groups called Regulators sought solutions to their situation. The protests were widespread, with the most violent events occulTing in Orange, Alamance and Randolph counties. Montgomery County and surrounding counties of the southern Piedmont also experienced fallout from the tensions and conflict. In I 771, the Regulator uprising was quelled by Governor Tryon's Colonial troops at the battle in Alamance (modem Alamance County).
As the events that led to the Revolutionary War unfolded, those who lived in the Uwhan·ie Mountain region had mixed allegiances. Some residents favored British rule, while others felt oppressed by it. A great many Loyalists lived in the area, including many Hi ghland Scots. One of the families inhabiting the UwhatTie Mountains was that of Flora and Allan McDonald. Flora McDonald was famous in her homeland because of her support in the 1740s of Charles Edward Stuart, a Jacobite who had been exiled from Scotland. She and her family moved to North Carolina in the early 1770s, and had their residence on Cheeks Creek in the eastern UwhatTie Mountains. Many Highland Scot immigrants joined relatives in the Cheeks Creek and Mountain Creek area of the Uwharrie Mountains (eastern part of the National Forest) shortly before the Revolutionary War. In 1776, Allan McDonald commanded Loyalist troops assembled from the region and made his way toward Wilmington to support the British attempt to establish an army in the Southem colonies. His troops, largely comprised of Highland Scots, were defeated at the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge, where he was captured.
No major battles or skirmishes took place in the UwhatTie Mountains during the Revolutionary War, but the battles at Camden and Kings Mountain occulTed only a J hundred miles or so to the west, and the Battle of Guilford Courthouse took place only 90
Ill- 8 Uwharrie Archaeology, 2007 miles or so to the north. Troops of both General Cornwallis and General Greene traveled through the lower Yadkin-Pee Dee valley in 1780 and 1781 as part of the race to the Dan.
After the Revolutionary War, the Uwharrie region developed slowly. When Montgomery County was created in 1779, courts were set up in private homes along the Pee Dee River, which at the time ran through the center of the county (Figure III-2). One of the early settlements in the county was Henderson Town, located near the mouth of the Uwharrie River on the east side of the Yadkin River, and Tindalsville, located on the west side of the river across from Henderson Town (Figures liJ-1 , III-2, and III-3 ). Both of these may have served as early com1houses. Father to the south, on the west side of the Pee Dee River at the mouth of Rocky River, was Colson's Ordinary.
As the region was settled in the eighteenth century, several major roads were established. Local roads extended north-south along the Yadkin-Pee Dee, Uwharrie and Little Rivers. Among these early roads was "River Road," located just east of the Yadkin Pee Dee River as shown on an early map of the county (Figure II[-1 ). River Road is still prominent in the National Forest today. A road connecting the Cape Fear region with Salisbury was in place through the Uwharrie Mountains by the 1750s, and a major north south route linking the not1hern tier counties of the state with the lower Pee-Dee-Yadkin valley extended along the Uwharrie River. Other major east-west roads were in place by the late-eighteenth century, as shown on a 1789 map (Figure III-3).
Nineteenth Century: Until the mid-nineteenth century, residents of the Uwharrie Mountains were largely subsistence fanners. Transportation in the region was difficult and there was little opportunity to bring products to market. Harvesting naval stores from the long leaf pines in the eastern part of the county provided some income for a few fanners, but economic activities in other pm1s of the county were limited. Fanners subsisted on crops of corn, wheat and garden products. Cotton began to be e,rrown in the region in the early part of the century, but there were few markets for the product until much later in the century.
The discovery of gold in the region just before the turn of the century led to the establishment of several gold mining companies in the Uwharrie Mountains, and while these supplied jobs for some residents of the region, many miners were brought in from other places and most local residents continued to depend on fanning to make a living. Gold and other mineral mining continued to be an important industry of the nineteenth century (see discussion is next section of this report).
l In the second decade of the century, Montgomery County established a new courthouse east of the Yadkin-Pee Dee River along a major regional road. The town was called Lawrenceville, and it served as county seat until about 1843, at which time the county was divided and a new courthouse was established in Troy. However, Lawrenceville continued to function until after the Civil War (Robinson 2007). The town site is located near some of the timber areas surveyed during the 2007 archaeological survey. Montgomery County was divided in 1841 , with the portion of the original county west of the Pee Dee-Yadkin River becoming Stanly County.
III- 9 Uwharrie Archaeology, 2007 w By mid century, timber harvesting was becoming an important industry as the Piedmont region began to grow. Logging and the timber industry continued to prosper in the latter decades of the century and first decades of the twentieth century. Textiles mills established along the Little River also contributed greatly to the economy of the area.
Twentieth Century: One of the largest developments in the South-Central Piedmont region of North Carolina was the development of Badin Lake and the associated hydroelectric facility located at the NmTows of the Yadkin River (Glass and Dickinson 1981 ). Plans for development of the area began as early as the 1898, but it was not until 1913 that the Southern Aluminum Company, a French company, began to construct a dam at the Narrows. One result of the construction project was the establishment of the town of Badin, near the Narrows on the west side of the Yadkin River. During World War I, the Southern Aluminum Company was sold to the Aluminum Company of America (later Alcoa). The Narrows Dam was finished in 1917, creating one of the largest reservoirs in the state at that time. The hydroelectric facility provided electricity to power the aluminum plant, known as the Badin Works, and it continued to function in this manner until plant operations were halted in the early 2000s. The hydroelectric facility is today owned by the Alcoa Power Generating lnc-Yadkin Division. The company also owns other dams and lakes associated with power generating facilities along the Yadkin-Pee Dee River, including the High Rock Lake, Falls Lake and Tuckertown, a low water reservoir with limited lake storage capacity (Alcoa Power Generating Inc. 2008).
The Uwharrie National Forest began in the 1930s when the Federal government began to acquire land in an attempt to create a federal game reserve (Espenshade and Price 2007: 16). The area had been logged and mined for many years and side benefits of developing the game preserve was the restoration of the regional forests and the slowing of erosion from the denuded hills and mountains. Maps of properties within portions of the National Forest were prepared in the 1930s, and these are labeled "Pisgah National Forest-Uharie Unit" (on tile at the Uwharrie National Forest Ranger Station, Troy, N.C.). In 1961 , federal land holdings were consolidated as the Uwharrie National Forest, now managed by the National Forests in North Carolina, a section of the USDA-National Forest Service.

James [Jim] Milas Tucker, Sr. & his wife Sarah Amelia [ don't know her maiden name ] moved their family from Cabarrus County, N.C. to Montgomery County N. C. between 1832 & 1840 for they were on the 1840 census & later censuses for Montgomery Co. They had 8 children one of them being James [Jim] Milas Tucker, Jr. born 3/12/1832 Cabarrus Co. & died 1/6/1900 in Montgomery Co. Jim, Jr. was next to the oldest of the 8 children. He married Martha Jane Morgan born 11/5/1833 & died 1/5/1905 from Montgomery Co. Jim, Jr. 's occupation was Wagon Maker & farmer. He served in the War Between The States in the Confederate Army-Co. F-44th Regt. of Montgomery Co. and enlisted at the age of 30 on 3/1/1862. He was present & accounted for until he was paroled at Lynchburg, Va. in 4/1865. It is thought that he was very prosperous for his time & he had 7 boys & 1 girl. He & his wife are buried in the Henderson Cemetery near Eldorado, N.C. It is interesting to note that he had an interesting way of keeping up with his children's births-he recorded them on a board which he kept nailed over a door of their home place. Jim, Jr. could not write so he had a friend tell him how to make the numbers of the year that the child was born & he would put this on the board. It was just the year no month or day. This board remains in the family today. [ Sherry Garner ( 3d great grand daughter of Jim, Jr. ) has that board]. Jim Tucker, Jr. & his wife Jane were involved in gold mining in Montgomery County. Also they farmed & operated a whiskey still for the government. He lived off of what is now Hwy 109 about 2 miles north of Eldorado. He was a Primitive Baptist & did some preaching at times. Jim, Jr. had 7 boys & 1 girl. One of the boys was Thomas [ Tom ] Elihue Tucker [ who was the 2d oldest of 8 children - just like his dad was the 2d oldest in his family ] born 3/15/1866 & married Fannie Morgan from Montgomery Co. Thomas [ Tom ] Elihue Tucker had 10 children the next to the youngest being Homer Tucker born 12/17/1912. After Jim, Jr. died on 1/6/1900 & for some reason unknown to me or other family members there was a special proceedings [ I have a copy of the special proceedings ] done by J. Milas Tucker ,3d [ my grand dad ] et al against Manuel Tucker to Thomas [ Tom ] Elihue Tucker & R. T. Poole was appointed by the Superior Court to handle these special proceedings & the property was put up for sale at the Court House door & Thomas [ Tom ] Elihue Tucker became the highest bidder on the property at $ 599.00 on 11/6/1905. When Thomas [ Tom ] Elihue Tucker died on 6/25/1945 the place was left to all of his children. Thomas [ Tom ] Elihue Tucker's son Homer " pestered " his siblings so much to buy their share that they finally sold it to him [Homer] even though some didn't really want to sell their share but Homer Tucker finally got full ownership of the property in 1961. Homer Tucker married Margurite Gwendolyn McCall & they lived in Charlotte, NC. Homer Tucker died 6/1/1963 and he left that home place to his wife Margurite but she could not sell it & could only manage it until her son Thomas [ Tom ] Lee Tucker born 2/8/1950 & died 1/2000. was old enough to have it in his name. After Homer died his widow Margurite married a Bernard Rose who owned a funeral home in Michigan & her son & his step dad did not see eye to eye on things so Thomas [ Tom ] Lee Tucker was sent to Carlisle Military school in Bamberg, S.C. . Homer Tucker's son Thomas [ Tom ] Lee Tucker was 13 years old when his dad died. Thomas [ Tom ] Lee Tucker [ Homer Tucker's son ] married Marka June Eddy & they had a son Mark Thomas Tucker born 6/1979 & died 10/28/2006. When Thomas [ Tom ] Lee Tucker died no will was found [ even though he had stated he had a will & the property was not going to his ex wife or his son but he never told anyone where the will was ] so his son Mark Thomas Tucker inherited the property. When Mark Thomas Tucker died he had a handwritten will leaving that place to his mother Marka Tucker who died 2/15/2007 without a will therefore the property went to Marka Tucker's mother as her closest living blood relative. The Land Trust bought the property in 8/2007. In my opinion the buildings should remain intact & in Montgomery Co. since they have been there over 150 years.
