Family Tree.
Many people have lived at Greenwood since the 1820s when the Delesderniers family purchased the house and transformed it into the first General Store and Post Office in the area. It is helpful to carry a family tree when touring the residence simply because there are so many names to remember. For instance, Percy Nobbs married Mary Cecilia Shepherd in 1909. She often went by the nickname Cecil. However, there is another Mary Cecilia in Greenwood's long history; the first and only child of Amelia Rice and P.F.C. Delesderniers (the couple who bought the house in 1820) and grandmother to Cecil. (Greenwood Collection)
