Historyedit
The Patterson Plantation was first listed in a 1770 Collet Map as "I. Paterson", at the time it was owned by a planter named John Patterson, who built a cabin on the site.[1] The family also operated a mill, known as Patterson's Mill, along New Hope Creek in what is now Duke Forest.[1] The land later passed to Patterson's son, John Tapley Patterson.[1] Upon his death, it passed to his son, Mann Patterson.[1] Construction on the large Federal-style house began in 1834, shortly before the death of Patterson.[1] His second wife Mary Cabe Patterson, who had inherited the 2,200-acre plantation, later completed the building.[1] It was built at the intersection of Erwin and Whitfield Roads, less than a mile from Mt. Moriah Baptist Church.[1] The Patterson's two sons, Mann and Robert, also lived at the farm.[1] Two house slaves, named Matthew and Phebe, were listed as part of the household in 1870.[1]
The plantation also includes a family cemetery, located further down Erwin Road, which includes 27 marked graves and 5 unmarked graves.[2]
In the 1950s, the plantation was under the ownership of Charlie and Josie Henderson Humphries, who had inherited it from family members.[1] The Humphries later moved to Hope Valley Country Club, and members of the Henderson family came to live on the property, building a house across the street in the 1980s.[1]
The plantation was later purchased by David Dickson and renamed Holly Rock Farm.[1]
