Gregory Hill Farm

Located in the Beasley Bend community, three farms established over a fifty year period -- 1842, 1853, and 1892 --have histories that connect the Culbreath, Taylor, and Gregory families. Two farms, Gregory Hill and Locust Hill trace their origins to Rozeatta Overby Culbreath who moved from Mecklenberg, Virginia in the 1830s. In 1836 she purchased 100 acres from Ellis Beasley for $534.00 with money given to her by her parents. Married to John Culbreath, the couple was the parents of James H. Minerva, Mary Jane, Emma, Lafayette, Amanda, Hezekiah, and Nancy Ann. When John Culbreath failed to make the payments on the farm, it was sold, but repurchased by Rozeatta in 1842. With the deed in her name and that of her children, Rozeatta managed the farm and lived there until her death in 1882.

The history of Gregory Hill Farm continues with the daughter of James H. Culbreath, Caroline Cornelia Culbreath Overby who married Rufus A Taylor. Taylor acquired the farm in 1895. He and Caroline were the parents of four children. She died in 1900, leaving four small children, Julius, Irene, Ophelia and Carrie Dee, who were raised by their father. In 1923, daughters Carrie Dee Taylor Rigsby and Ophelia Taylor Kenney inherited the property from their father. During these years the family produced tobacco, hay, and cattle. Carrie married Duffy Gregory who purchased Ophelia’s interest in the property in 1960 and also purchased from his step daughters their interest in their mother’s estate. In 1975, the sons of Carrie and Duffy Gregory, Billy, Bobby, and Larry, inherited their father’s interest in the farm and the farm across the road known as BG Farm. In 1985, Billy purchased the farm from his brothers. Billy and his wife Grace had three sons, Tommy, David, and Richard. Today, David, the great, great, great grandson of the founders, and his wife Melissa own Gregory Hill Farm and raise tobacco, cattle, corn and hay.
