Jacob Phinizy, whose photograph is elsewhere here, built this home just before his appointment as a first lieutenant in the 8th Georgians in May 1861. He intended to marry and live here after the War, but was killed in action on 30 August 1862, the last day of the Second Battle of Manassas. He is a first cousin of Patrick Stevens and they were raised together by Jacob's mother Matilda Stewart Phinizy. (This photo is courtesy of Joan Doughty, another wonderful Phinizy researcher, 2001.)
