The above painting, now on display in the
museum, is the collaborative work of Tom Melton,
now deceased, and John Ackroyd, Senior County Resident Artist. Tom
contributed his lifetime's collected information about the birthplace of
America's 16th President, the Abraham Enloe family's home and farm, which is
located on the hill above Puzzle Creek, some 4 miles northwest of the Bostic
Lincoln Center. The cabin was described as located between Cherry
Mountain and Concord Church. As an NCSU graduate Engineer with a
Masters of Education, Tom carefully studied and measured the ruins,
imparting the information to John Ackroyd. This painting depicts the
characteristics of their mutually agreed upon concept-reconstruction in oil.
Here, back at the former home place of her childhood and early teenage
years, Nancy Hanks birthed her black-haired baby boy who she named Abraham,
about February 12, 1805. |
