Notes:  The farm was originally owned by Will and Luada Messer, parents of James, grandparents of Jennifer Jones and Keith Messer.  Messers have lived on this farm since the early part of the 20^th  Century, approx. 95 years. The barn was built after WWII.
This pattern was chosen because of our Cherokee heritage. The great great-grandmother Melton of Jennifer, Keith and Barbara was a full-blooded Cherokee.
