Rev. TE Nash Nash Farm, Henry County

Rev. TE Nash
Nash Farm, Henry County

Thompson Edward “T.E.” Nash was born on September 20, 1811 in Laurensville, South Carolina. In 1858, T.E. purchased the Nash Farm from his brother Elihu Nash. T.E. was appointed postmaster of Fosterville and was a minister, contributing the land for the County Line Methodist Church. Although T.E. did not fight in the Civil War, his property was one of the largest campsites in Georgia. According to the Nash Farm Battlefield Website, the property was probably abandoned during that time.

The main house was built prior to the 1920 date recorded in the county property records. It has been preserved and converted into the museum.

Investigation: On two separate occasions, the Ghost Radar indicated “red” activity in this area. On one occasion, the Spirit Voice box repeated the word “Hi.” One was a female voice.

Observations: During both trips to the farm, a “green” light attached to us and remained with us the entire time. We picked up a lot of words. Most notable were the words: north, choice, condition, supply, march, differ, parts, equally, saved, bone, victory, fell, death, and October.

We plan to revisit the farm in the near future.

Nash Farm Battlefield

Nash Farm Battlefield

Nash Farm Battlefield

Located in Henry County, Georgia, this farm covers 204 acres. It was the final stop in Sherman’s Atlanta Campaign and was the largest Cavalry raid in Georgia.

Between August 18-20, 1864, General Sherman ordered Major General Judson Kilpatrick’s cavalry to break through the Confederate infantry. This raid would be considered the largest cavalry charge in Georgia.

Today, the Nash Farm Battlefield is a backdrop to the Civil War. The rolling fields are open and meticulously preserved. Dirt trails allow for vehicles to drive around the property. Detailed signs highlight the events leading up to and after the raid. The large pond and cement dock remind visitors of how vast the farm was. It is a place where time has stopped.

In the coming days, I will report on our investigations at the farm.

A museum sits on the property; however, it is open only on Fridays and Saturdays. Another homestead is also on the property. It has not been restored and is shuttered. Visit www.henrycountybattlefield.com for more information. Note: The Battlefield is OPEN and not subject to any federal slimdowns.
