| PLANTATION NAME: | OAKLAND PLANTATION | |
| ASSOCIATED LINK(s): | ||
| OWNER: | Edmond & Mary Gregory; aft 1836, Joseph R. Lloyd, d. 1841 | |
| BUILT: | Before 1836 | |
| ASSOCIATED SURNAMES: | Lloyd, Gregory | |
| HISTORY: | Edmond & Mary Gregory sold the plantation to pay their debts in 1836 to their son-in-law, Joseph R. Lloyd, who was a State Legislator from 1821-1822. Joseph returned the property to Mary Gregory prior to his death, and she left it to her grandson, Henry S. Lloyd in 1858. Henry died in 1859, and he left the property to his brother, Joseph W. Lloyd. The current house itself was more than likely built during the time it was in the possession of Joseph W. Lloyd, who died in 1885. The plantation went through several different ownerships, and in 1906, it was divided up into small lots after it was sold to real estate developer, William G. Clarke. By 1931, the building had become the Elks Lodge for local chapter of that group, which it still is today; it sits on less than an acre, all that remains of what had once been a large plantation. At its height of usage, the plantation property had consisted of 1200 acres of land. |
