In 1693, Isaac Hollingham bought 404 acres (163 ha) from Robert Turner. After his death, his son, Isaac Hollingham II, inherited the property and built the northern part of the house from between 1700 and 1717. Sarah Bates Ellis purchased it in 1717. Her son, Joseph Ellis, farmed the land until his death in 1757. His son-in-law, Jacob Stokes, owned the property in 1761 and enlarged the house by adding the southern part that year. It remained in the Stokes family until 1828, when it was sold to George Lee.[3]
