Dever Cabin

This is one of the oldest cabins in the county. Thomas Williams was a tenant farmer who lived there for almost 50 years before passing away a couple of years ago. He worked for John Tapp who died in 1997. The house is now owned by William Tapp, whose great grandmother was a Dever.

The Tapps have been in the Amissville general area for quite some time. Mr. William Tapp has copies of wills of two ancestors, father and son who were both named Vincent Tapp and who both fought in the Revolutionary War. One was given 100 acres of land for his service and the younger Vincent received a pension for his service.
