Adjacent Billups Creek got its name because the Billupses lived on the other side (their grant dated 1653). I'm descended from both families.

It had a distinct lean, luckily not quite so far gone as that shed!! My husband tried to correct the lilt..oops the tilt, or lean, or list...by putting big strong metal restraining wires from the roof at one side to the ground at the other...which meant that as we walked down the hallway, one had to duck under three wires across the hallway, or lose one's head!! Needless to say I didn't invite many people home during that era of our lives! Not sure that the lean ever got corrected, but we were lucky to have acreage, and the house eventually got shifted off the property after we sold! We had a happy few years living there, milking a cow, growing some mung beans and sorghum and wheat, all after my husband's normal agricultural day time work. The boys enjoyed being at a one teacher, then a two teacher school. Good fun times!
