One mile south, Rock Castle was begun in 1784, but Indian attacks delayed its completion until 1791. It was the home of Daniel Smith, a captain in Lord Dunmore's War, a colonel in the Revolution, a brigadier general of militia in the Mero District, a member of the committee to frame the Bill of Rights, Territorial Secretary of State, and a U.S. Senator.
