      This photograph was labeled as being Uncle Tom Adamson's log cabin.  However, Thomas and Anne Adamson did not move to Springdale until about 1860 when J. P. and  Family moved into their frame house, therefore I believe this is a photo of the original log cabin that  J. P. McPherson built in 1850.  
    In 2010, I visited Springdale, and there is a similar hilly rise on old McPherson property that looks very much like this photo (with a new modern house, of course).
