Eliza S Nuckols Cocke
Eliza S Nuckols Cocke home in Hanover Co, VA in the Rockville area. The house was built around 1825. The last of the Nuckols to own this home were the children of Myrtle Nuckols Gordon. They sold it in 1980 to Dr. Wyatt and he is rebuilding it.
The house at Springfield Farm was built around 1825 by William H Nuckols and his wife Eliza S. Cocke Nuckols. It is located on Route 611 between Rockville and Vontay and originally contained 360 acres, which sloped down to Mill Creek. The will of Eliza Nuckols was probated September 14, 1881 in Hanover County. The ownership of the farm passed to her son, R Julian Nuckols, and wife Ida Belle, and after his death, to his children. This wife, the will stated, had done a fine job managing Springfield and should remain doing so. By November 1900, the property had passed to Mary Olivia Nuckols Hope, wife of T B Hope, through Mary 's father Julian and brother, Clarence. Hanover County Will Book Four shows that Mary Hope left the dwelling and 50 acres to her niece, Myrtle Gordon, in 1936. Today, despite neglect, this hall-parlor style house has retained much of the original woodwork, wainscoting and chair rails on the first floor and still has beautifully carved mantels. The basement and foundations are of Roman style stone masonry and the chimneys feature scored stonework on the exterior. Dr. Davis B Wyatt bought the property from the heirs of Myrtle Gordon in 1980 and he is presently restoring the house.
