Long Meadow - Surgoinsville, TN - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Per "Touring the East Tennesse Backroads" by Carolyn Sakowski,
In 1762, William Young staked a claim to a large tract of land in what is now Carter's Valley. He then traveled to Virginia to bring back his wife, Caroline. When he returned to Carter's Valley, he discovered that another man had claimed his land. Tradition says a fistfight left William Young the owner of the tract.
In 1763, the couple's son John was born. He was the first white child born in Hawkins County.
William subsequently built a huge log room that still serves as the nucleus of the present home, known as Long Meadow."
