In 1826, Richard Timberlake founded the Timberlake Farm. Located four miles north of Lexington, the 3,200 acres produced cotton, corn and cattle. Married to Tabitha Trice Timberlake, the couple had ten children. In addition to managing the farm, Richard built a log cabin and added extensions to the cabin as his family grew.
Richard’s son, Edward Julius Timberlake became the second generation to own the land. During his ownership, the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroad acquired some of the farm land in exchange for building a switch track and establishing a “whistle stop” for produce and passengers. Eventually, Edward constructed a house, a cotton gin and a general store on the land. Edward and his wife, Louisa Hutchings Small Timberlake, had eight children and their son, John Richard Timberlake, became the next owner of the farm.
In 1989, the great great grandson of the founder, John Richard Timberlake, acquired the Timberlake Farm. Today, the farm cultivates corn, soybeans and wheat. The house that was built in 1897 stills stands on the property.

WFT Vol 2 Ed 1 Tree 3251 Richard was a private in the American Revolutionary War with the North Carolina Militia. He is buried in Old Beech River Cemetery 1 1/2 miles North of Lexington, Tennessee, just off Huntingdon Highway on left. (The information about the revolutionary war could not be correct because he wasn't born until 1788. Perhaps they were referencing his father Francis who was born in 1758.)
