• Notes

  Woodlawn Farm dates to the 1798 land acquisition of Walter Sims, a Pennsylvania native. He willed 600 acres to his granddaughter Elizabeth Scudder Ryall in 1821 and it would be her family who actually established Woodlawn. She and her husband had eight children and their 1820s log and weatherboard homestead was still occupied in 1976.
