Built before 1815 by Revolutionary War soldier John Motheral (1755-1824), this large log house originally faced the Harpeth River. After the road was moved, a double front porch was added on the north side, the logs were covered over, and a frame addition was built. In 1873, Motheral's heirs sold the farm to Nathan and Margaret Linton Greer. After Nathan Greer's death, his second wife, Harriet Elizabeth Henry Greer, a collateral descendant of Patrick Henry, married Edward Hicks Moran in 1890. Moran served as a magistrate for 34 years, and he and Harriet lived here with their only son, Sam Henry Moran (1894-1955), and his family. Sam Moran later served 17 years as a magistrate and three terms in the state legislature.
