It was devised in trust in 1870 by John Henry Chiles to his daughter, Sallie Chiles Johnston. J. H. Chiles was the son of Richard Coleman Chiles (b. 10/11/1785 in Spotsylvania Co. VA) and Sally Johnston b. ca. 1787 in Caroline Co. VA. Chiles had married Nannie F. Rogers of Fayette County on 14 May 1846 [Observer & Reporter; 20 May 1846, p. 3, col. 6]. On 14 April 1870 J. H. Chiles -- both through will and a separate trust agreement -- appointed his friend, Clifton F. Estill to serve as trustee on behalf of his daughter and to ensure the trust remained "...free from the control of any husband she may at any time have, and from any liability for his debt..." After Sallie Chiles Johnston's death, her four surviving sons deeded [DB 136- 585] their interest in her estate to their father for his lifetime. Aside from indicating a good relationship with their surviving parent, the deed also offers some insight into the exact location of the farm as well as its out buildings. It was described as located on the North Elkhorn Creek at the intersection of Bryan Station and Johnston Pikes and bounded by land owned by W. C. H. Wood as well as the L & N Railroad, Pond Woods, the Dog Kennel and stable lot fences. Buildings in addition to the kennel included a work horse stable, a mule shed barn, paddocks, a track field, stall, a stable, a "catching pen," a cabin and a black smith lot. Later mention was made of three other cabins and one or more ponds. Sons signing the conveyance were Philip,Jr.; Marius E., J. Pelham, and Fayette Preston. The site is significant historically in part because of the interment there of Maj. Philip Preston Johnston, Sr., a CSA veteran who later served as the state's Adjutant General. Although the conveyance above did not mention the family cemetery, it was acknowledged in a 1997 deed [DB 1953-434] and excepted from the sale. It was described as being 0.015 acres in size. J. Stuart Johnston, the son of Maj. and Mrs. P. P. Johnston, had died in Anaconda, Montana of pneumonia, press reports noted. Also reported ws that Mrs. Sallie Chiles Johnston "died suddenly" at her home.
