For many years, Dunwoody Preservation Trust believed the farm transferred from Lois Bannister to Charles R. Roberts briefly, and that the Roberts family never lived there.  Two pieces of information came to light to clear up this misconception.

This article is the second in a series about the owners of Donaldson-Bannister Farm, as we celebrate one hundred fifty years for the farm.  Last time, I shared history of the Donaldson family.  The next owner is Bannister, Lois Pattillo Bannister.

2020 marks one hundred fifty years for the historic Donaldson-Bannister Farm, located at 4831 Chamblee Dunwoody Road in Dunwoody.  I’ll be sharing the history of the six families who lived on the farm in this blog.  The first family is the one that built the house, raised a family and for whom farming was a way of life.  This was the Donaldson family; however, the story really begins with a family named Adams.
