Original owners were Samuel and Judith (Clark) Moorman, 1802. Structures on the property are: a 1-1/2 story main building, kitchen chimney, meathouse, chickenhouse and cemetery.
Judith (Clark) Moorman's brother Micajah and father John Clark (son of Micajah Sr and Judith Lewis (Adams) Clark) each had adjoining farms to the property.
Excerpts:
"The Moorman-Leftwich Cemetery, with its traditional elevated siting, is notable itself for its cantilevered stile and for the artistry of the monuments it contains.
... common solution was to enclose the cemetery with a fence or wall with a gate to control access.
Stiles consisting of stone blocks cantilevered from the wall have been encountered ... only at Walnut Hill ...
The Moorman-Leftwich Cemetery stile is a wonderful demonstration of technical prowess on the part of the unknown stonemason who built the cemetery wall."
