  	In his booklet, True Stories of the Drovers Trail, Floyd Simpson reports that Ignatius Burns and his sons ran a Drovers Station at their farm from 1827 until 1852. A Drovers Station was a farm where Drovers who were driving livestock from Ohio to the market in Baltimore, Maryland could stop for the night. At some Drovers Stations the drovers were able to corral their livestock and then spend the night in "hotel-like" accommodations. Writing the nomination of the property, known now as the James Kinney Farmstead, for the National Registry of Historic Places, Floyd Simpson talked about the original house that was on property. He said that the log house was "24' X 17' X 12' high. This house had been built by John Franz who acquired 150 acres in 1813 on credit from a Congressional deed. He was unable to pay the government for the property, and so in 1818 he sold it to John Barnes. Barnes sold the property to Ignatius Burns whose son, Enoch, ran the Drovers Station and lived in the log house Ignatius Burns' sons, George N. Burns and Townsend Burns, closed their father's estate in April 12, 1852 by sale to James Kinney of a 152 acre tract in Smith Township, Belmont County, OH.
