"Bob" McIntosh [24th Mississippi Infantry?], a former Confederate officer who practiced law after the Civil War and served in the Mississippi House of Representatives. He later becoming president of a local bank. McIntosh had the house extensively enlarged and remodeled to its present design about 1870. In 1896, the house became the home of Mr. and Mrs. R.W.
