Assessed Value Derived From Township Tax Records]
- Note: All the properties currently located in the Historic District were originally part of a tract registered by Butler Holcomb with the federal government on October 22, 1831. Thus, abstracts for these properties, when they exist, show the original transfer to be from the United States to Butler Holcomb and may also include references to then President Andrew Jackson.
- 1880 William Holcomb, west of the plaster mill race, west by Mrs. Phillips, T. S. Bird and himself, north by the Dam, south by Holcomb, assessed value $9250.
