Historians believe that the main two-story structure called Sabine Hill at the Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area in Elizabethton, Tennessee represents the house possibly built by General Nathaniel Taylor beginning around 1814 or 1815. We conducted a dendrochronological investigation on hewn logs and squared beams from several locations within Sabine Hill to determine the years when the trees were harvested and incorporated into the historic structure. We were able to collect and eventually crossdate tree rings from 26 beams and logs. These samples yielded a chronology spanning AD 1698 to 1818 and showed a statistically significant correlation (r = 0.47, n = 121 years, t = 5.86, p
