3889 Mobley Store Road – Scoggins and Dunlap Homeplace

City Directories and History:  The early 20th century home of the H.D. Dunlap family, one of the area’s oldest family units. It appears the house was located approximately  “just east” of where the T.W. Scoggins residence shows on Walker’s 1910 map of York County. The house was purchased in 2012 by the current owners and beautifully updated. The 1910 Walker map does not show a home at this location, however members of the Dunlap family live close to the current home.

Mr. Donald Scoggins informed R&R that his grandfather, Mr. John Scoggins had once owned the

Dunlap property and backup Mobley’s Store Road to the corner prior to selling his interest in the old Scoggins family farm and acquiring the current Scoggins Farm on Odgen Road just east of the Mobley’s Store and Highway 324 crossroads. The Scoggins family had lived on this property for decades well prior to the Civil War. The Dunlap property was originally part of the Scoggins farm and until 2014, when it was demolished, behind the Dunlap home in the field stood an old tenant farm house once used by the Scoggins family tenants. Across the road from the Dunlap house was the Kidd home which was demolished but shows on the Antioch Community page. [Verbal history provided by the Rev. Donald Scoggins – 2014]

In 2012-13, the owners of this home have completed substantial renovations and farm improvements to all the property.
