It was not built in 1781, closer to 1796-1797. Jacob Froman Sr, was a Revolutionary Solder, State Representative for Virginia and Kentucky, a whiskey distiller, he owned and ran iron works, Salt works, tobacco warehouses, and flour mills. The Clover Bottom Baptist Church was formed at Jacob Froman Sr house shown above in 1801. Jacob Froman Sr operated a Flour mill just behind the house on the Brushy Run Creek and a large Tobacco warehouse near the Kentucky River. The ruins (foundation only) of the house still exist as do part of the part of the mill. <br /><br />Elijah Froman did inherit the land in 1820, but he was never a Senior.
