Shepherdsville lot 54 had originally been purchased by Edward Frye in 1797. He next sold it to John L. Summers of Maryland in 1800. At some point it came into the possession of John B. Summers who sold it to Lewis Willcoxen. Willcoxen would later sell the lot to Thomas Q. Willson as shown below. Willson, in an arrangement with Rufus K. Summers, would sell the lot to Richard P. Simmons at a later time.
