Built in the early 1800’s, John Casey had acquired the property with a Revolutionary War land grant from Virginia dated 1792. The Casey family is buried on the original property and currently maintained in Whites Creek Manor subdivision. Samuel Casey sold the house in 1847 to John Bysor for $7,000. A possible dog-trot log structure is underneath the home while the original Casey residence maintained its L-shape. German immigrants from the Neuhoff Packing Company bought the house, remodeled it, and sold it to the president of their company, Henry Neuhoff for $25,000 in 1919. IN 1941, the house was sold to William Herman Thompson and his wife, Odie, for $18,000 including 332 acres of land. The house served as the home place for the Thompson’s adjacent to their dairy business, Country Maid Dairy.
