David J. Chenault & Louisa Quisenberry

David J. Chenault is sometimes called "Tennessee David" to distinguish him from his father, "Kentucky David". Tennessee David married Louisa Quisenberry in 1827, and in 1836, settled in Sumner County, Tennessee, near Castalian Springs. In 1840, they built the home known as "Greenfield" on 800 acres of land bought from the Bledsoes at $20 per acre. The brick for the house was made from materials on the premises. There are eight rooms in the house. Four of them are 20 feet sqaure.

Before the beginning of the Civil War, David J. Chenault owned more than 2,000 acres of land.
