7401 Huntwick Trail (off Hwy 70) Nashville, TN
Circa 1790 long house/ addition 1830 into a 2-story frame home
The Hows home This home is located on Hwy 70 (current 7401 Huntwick Trail) in the Bellevue area. The Hows-Hutton House is a 2 story frame home built about 1830. (Horation) Rasa Jerome Hows (1806-1858) purchased 361 acres along Buffalo Creek in 1829 and settled on the land. Hows married Nancy Lovell Hows (1815-1888) in 1837. His first wife was Caroline Pitts Hows.
In 1850, they had amassed about 3,000 acres. A relative, John C. Hows, had also bought a tract nearby along the Big Harpeth River. He owned 5,000 acres himself and shared 8,000 acres with the John and and Nancy. The family was the most prominent landowners in the area in the late 1800s. In 1873, 800 acres remained in family and was subdivided among family. Francis H.(?-1921) got the home and 101 acres and lived with his mother.
After Francis Hows died, William D. Hutton (1802-1858) and Virginia Ferebee Hutton (1816-1911) purchased the property and held it until 1963. They wed in 1836. The Hutton family owned Pegram Station and the land in the area. Hutton sold the Hows-Hutton home to Scarritt College.
There are conflicting reports of Hows home being dismantled in 1967.
I cannot discern if the home was moved in the area and rebuilt or not. If so, there were several owners until 1976 when the Madden family purchased the property. In 1984, it was owned by the James Madden family with 9 acres. The home remained intact until the 1980s when it was finally demolished for development of Huntwick Estates in the 1980s. NR 1984
