City Directories and History: This house has been reported to have been constructed in circa 1880 and is often referred to as the Ketchin house. The current owners have lived here for decades and maintain the home in excellent fashion. The distinctive Queen Anne-Victorian architectural style of this dwelling makes it one of Winnsboro’s outstanding dwellings.
Constructed by Charles (A.) Douglas it was sold later to the Ketchin family. The McLeod family purchased the home in 1976 and has maintained the architectural features of the interior including it’s beautiful walnut staircase.

The man holding the child is not my grandfather John F. Davis. Instead, it is Charles Douglas holding one of his children. I was told it was either Margaret (Lane) or Patsy (Webb).
I am fairly certain that the man in back row, center, of the group of men is my grandfather John F. Davis. The picture is supposedly on the Monticello baseball team. It appears to have been taken on the porch of Monticello Methodist or Little River Baptist Church.
