Historical Note
The Finley and Davis families, related through marriage, lived in Marshall County, Mississippi;
in 1834, Mary Jane Greelee of Virginia married John Tate Finley while her sister, Martha Trimble Greelee, married Ebeneezer
Nelms Davis in 1845.
Martha and Ebeneezer built the substantial plantation home, Strawberry Plains, while the Finley’s lived in Holly Springs
proper.
Strawberry Plains was burned during the Civil War. For several years after the 1863 fire, the family lived in a small
cabin on the property.
The "Finley Place" was built by Mrs. Martha Alston Reese Jones, April 1859.
During the Jones’s tenure, the Surgeon General of Grant’s Army and his staff occupied the home.
The home became known as the Jones-Shuford House when Mrs. Jones sold the property to her son-in-law Dr. Shuford in 1872.
In 1906 George Finley purchased the home, which passed to his son Thomas Finley in November 1923.
By this time Thomas had married Ruth Leach and had two children: Ruth Finley (September 1911) and Margaret Finley (June
1915).
The two young girls grew up in the house and inherited it from their parents.
Margaret Finley Shackelford returned to Holly Springs with her husband, Dr. Shackelford,and purchased Strawberry Plains
while her sister Ruth remained in the Finley Place.
The two sisters donated Finley Place and Strawberry Plains to the National Audubon Society in 1983; the Society took residence
in the Spring of 1998.
