John Roper Branner, who built the house, was the grandson of Michael and Christina Branner, who came from Virginia in 1799. Their son, George, married Mary Ann Roper. George and Mary Ann were John Roper Branner's parents.

John Roper Branner started out in business with his brother, William, in a little store in the basement of the Roper Tavern in Dandridge. John left William to tend to the store and went to Mossy Creek, about ten miles away.
