James Mayson, Rev War Soldier. This couple sold their real estate holdings in Spartan in 1816 and moved into Franklin County settling on the hill overlooking the site of the old Kesler covered bridge on Middle Fork Broad River, their land straddled the line between now Banks and Franklin counties. According to the County records James
and Adenia operated a Tavern or rest stop on that hill and raised
their children as follows:
This is Prospect Community and was at one time Mize Post Office at the south end of Kesler Bridge where James MILLER's descendant Richard Lane Miller ran a store and was postmaster of MIZE. The site of the Tavern on the hill was acquired by Mary and George Kesler after James died and George Kesler's store was located on the same spot.
