Mysterious Document of Tomahawk Manor's Past

Tomahawk Manor, now located in Hartly, Delaware, outside of the State Capital of Dover, has a reputation and a mystery about it.  The story below has been handed down for many years and through 2 owners of the house.

The good news is that over 40 years ago, a local game warden found the house languishing in a field as described above. What did he do about it? He bought it from the owner, a farmer, and took it apart, brick by brick and moved it to 11 nearby acres of vacant land. It was re-assembled with whatever materials could be salvaged, plus materials from other old homes that were not so lucky as to find someone to save them.  Even better news is that the present owner has updated systems, bathrooms, and the kitchen. The interior and exterior have been painted, the barn apartment is spic and span, the grounds and pond have been meticulously groomed, and the home is ready for the next generation of owners.
