Here is what was written on the back of the picture.
 
Home of Attalissa Sparks and Hampton Stevens.  They married in Putnam County 
Georgia in 1820.  1828 they moved to Harris County, Georgia.  In 1848 they 
moved to Marion County, Georgia.  This home was built during the 1850's,  It 
burned in about 1912.
 
From Judy:  Hampton and Attalissa were married 19 January 1829.  They gave 
this home to their son Putnam Sparks Stevens and his wife Louisa Josephine 
Hurt Stevens after their marriage in  1857.  Sometime after the 1860 Marion 
county census Hampton and Attalissa  moved to Randolph County, GA.  They are 
buried at Prospect Methodist Church Cemetery, Shellman, GA.  Putnam and 
Josephine lived here until their deaths in 1913 and 1914 respectively.  Their 
son Robert W. Stevens inherited the home and it burned to the ground.  Robert 
and his wife rebuilt the home to its exact specifications and that home also 
burned a few years later.   The original Plantation was called "Peachtree".  
The small town of Putnam, GA was named for Putnam Sparks Stevens as he gave 
the land to the railroad for the Depot.
