13.  Paragraph Briefly Summarizing Known History Of The Property:

Other smaller farmsteads include the Rich Hachett House and the Pink Graham House, both near Huntersville in northern Mecklenburg, the Pressley Farmhouse in northwest Mecklenburg and the John Murray Alexander Farmhouse on Glory Street in what is now Charlotte near Sugar Creek Presbyterian Church. These farms and farmhouses were smaller than the farms listed above, and like many of the larger African American farmers, these men also had to have second jobs in addition to farming. Rich Hachett, for example, was a blacksmith, and John Alexander worked for an oil refinery in Charlotte.
