In 1828, this property, shown on Anderson's 1816 map as Kirksey's Tavern, was sold by John Kirksey to James Sheppard (1790-1859), a state representative, merchant, and War of 1812 veteran. He and Louise Mobley, his third wife, were the parents of John C. Sheppard (1850-1931), governor of South Carolina in 1886. The family cemetery is behind the house.
