TROY, Ky. — Two chimneys at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. John M.
Lippert, Keene-Troy Pike, help date
architecture of a structure begun in
pioneer days.

Victorianin appearance, the house
has a stone chimney (capped above
the roofline with brick) probably
erected for William Scott, one of
three brothers who fought in the Bat
tle of Kings Mountain.

Scott bought land on the waters of
Clear Creek as early as 1797. He
probably erected a log, saddlebag-
style house that stood on the site. The
term refers to two sections attached
to opposite sides of a stone chimney.
Rare in the Blue Grass, saddlebag
houses are common in North Caro-
lina, where Scott was reared.

In 18128, he solngiIl acres including

what now is the Lippert farm to
Thomas Hughes. Earlier assigned to
Scott by Moses Trimble, the tract
was described as on""Shawny Run
Road." “

Some time after about _1810,
Thomas Hughes added a brick ell by
erecting three walls, butting two
against the log house.

The ell was one or one and 1,5 sto
ries high. The chimney, which has a
massive stone foundation, was ex-
tended higher later when the roof was

‘ raised and the brick ell made a ‘full

two stories high.

A parlor in the ell has a mantel
that almost didn't survive, Johnny
Lippert says.

“We had it off once, then decided
to clean it and put it back on"

The mantel has graduated
squares, chevrons that resemble an
arrow, daisies and pinwheels beneath

I898 Photorph Shaw's House Unchanged

Hugh McCauley and Miss Lucie pose with Maude Boner
(later Mrs. Thomas Shirley Haydon) whom they reared.
in 1915, Miss Lucie deft Mrs. Haydon, whose marriage she
ipposed. $1,000 in “recognition of her faithful and devoted
.riendship and service to me since her childhood." Firstk

taught with her head tied up, accord-
ing to Mrs. Marion Mahin, whose un-
cles, aunts and parents, May Mosely
and Ben‘ Wilson, were pupils.

“The days Miss Lucie came down
with her head tied up, she'd bang a
ruler and lift the pupils a foot out of
their seats.

“But there was none of this

dlebag‘ .

a breakiront shelf typical of after
about 1810.

In 1825, Thomas and Elizabeth
Hughes sold 177 acres here for $100
per acre to James McCauley, de-
scribed as being of Fayette. ‘
McCauley, who rauy have been
born in Harrison C nty, married
Mary (Polly) Mahin, daughter of Wil
liam Mahin who came to Jessamine
in 1790. Polly‘s mother was a-niece or
other relative of William Scott, and
three of Polly’s brothers married
Scotts.

James had four sons by an earlier
marriage; Polly bore him six addi-
tional children, with 29 months the
longest interval between births.

James enlarged the part log, part
brick house. A log kitchen and the
saddlebag chimney were retained, and
a two-story frame section erected in
place of the saddlebag house, which
perhaps had burned.

Rebuilding probably took place in
the 18505. Doors and window frames
have Greek Revival “ears," or reen-
trant angles, and the slight arch typi-
cal of the Gothic Revival. [

One of two first-floor rooms of the
ell was made into a large ball for a
stair that serves the new brick second
story and the .twostory frame section.

‘JOhnny can't read’ when Miss Lucie
got through with him." . .

"My mother (Maude Boner Hay-
don) never would hear a word against
Miss Lucie, ” according to Mrs.
Shearer.

Mrs. Shearer has two diaries the
teacher kept from 1870-72. One entry
reads, "2 Yankees came 8; staid all
night selling a right to make pruning
knives." Another says, “Small Pox'es

bad in Lexington." , , -

Before opening a school on the
farm, Miss Lucie taught at Keene and
Troy and boarded with pupils, coming
home only on weekends

Her husband, Hugh, is remem-
bered as “stubborn as a mule,” and
“contrary When he wanted to be." He

ided among his widow and seven sun
viving children. (One, Melsina (or
Melsenia,) often described as mute,
actually was only deaf but in that day
could not be taught to talk)-

Polly lived until 1880. Earlier. a

“If ever a couple was mismatched
and mismated, those two were." one
woman says.

Miss Lucie's diaries paint a differ-
ent picture: “This is the day for
home, and I always hail it with plea-
sure, " she wrote in 1872. “11 is 12‘
years today since my wedding day."

She learned that husbands, like
schoolchildren, need special handling;

One day as Hugh worked on the
back of the farm, a missionary came
with a note from his wife: 1

“This man wants $500. 1 th nk he
only needs 5100."

“She' 11 not tell me what to do, "
her husband declared, and gave the
supplicant the larger amount.
