Hudson, Jr. The house was built about 1830 as a one-story log cabin and then rebuilt by Waters and his son, Thomas Jefferson Waters, in the 1850s. The house stood on a hill overlooking Abbots Bridge Road in Gwinnett County until it burned in 1976. Waters called his plantation on the Chattahoochee, “Wales.” Permission to publish granted by Leah Ratzel, daughter of artist.
