It is said that “Rock Castle” was built by Thomas Nash two years before his 
death.  He died in 1813, at the age of thirty-one.  He was buried on the 
plantation.  The house place was left to his nephew, Thomas P. Nash, at the 
death of his wife or at her second marriage.


Back of the house nearly a mile down in the wood is a tombstone.  It is an 
upright marble stone inscribed as follows:

In memory
of
Thomas Nash
Who departed this life
September 26, 1813
Aged 31 years
