This barn, built in the late 1800's, stands on what's left of the James M. Wade farm established in 1867. The land was deeded to James M. Wade, our great grandfather by William Wayland, the father of James M. Wade's wife Mary Wayland Wade. The land was deeded after James M. Wade and Mary Wayland were married after James returned from serving in the Union Army as a Captain. James M. Wade was one of the founders of the First Baptist Church and Harrison Chilhowee Baptist Academy, both in Seymour..

Our grandfather Albert Wade was a farmer on this land for many years and was married to our Grandmother Nancy Ann Davis Wade. Nancy died before my sister and I were born, but we are lucky to have a few of the many quilts she quilted in her life for her family. This Bear Claw Quilt is one of our favorites. We chose this Bear Claw Quilt Square pattern not only to honor our grandmother but also to honor the 75th anniversary of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, home to many black bears.

The Bear Claw pattern in red, white and blue is in honor of the black bears of the Great Smoky Mountains and the family quilt of the Wade Family.

The Limburg Barn on Robinette Family Farm was built in 1888 by Christian Limburg, son of German immigrant Marx Limburg, and Samuel Andrew, a neighbor noted for his skills as a carpenter. The barn was built to replace a log barn that was present when the Limburg family purchased the farm in 1866. The barn was and still is used for livestock. Ridge pine from the farm's property was used in combination with oak to construct the barn. It has been through various renovations and had multiple roofs replaced and other enhancements over the years. It was painted red in the 1980s, and in the 1990s, Ira Robinette's grandson, Houston Guettner, made a sign reading "Built in 1888" for the barn. The shed area of the barn houses Hoyt Robinette's 1947 Farmall Club Tractor, which was the first tractor on the farm and is still used to plow and cultivate the vegetable garden.

Adaline Gilliam Robinette moved to the farm in Roane county with her husband, Ira Taylor Robinette and daughter Beuna in 1914. They lived in a log cabin that existed on the farm and had a son, Hoyt. After Ira built a new, larger home in 1920, Adaline (Addie) purchased a treadle sewing machine from her brother and used it for the next 40 years to fashion clothese for the family. When Ira passed away in 1957, Addie moved in with her daughter Beuna and quilted to pass the time, piecing several tops for her grandchildren. The quilt on the barn is taken from a series of Addie's creations that were found after her death in 1966.
