 Oak Hill was constructed by Maj. John MartinStevens (1784-1858) in the 1820s, and replaced an earlier home, Cherry Hill, the residence of Brig. Gen. John Stewart (1760-1829), whose daughter Sarah married John Stevens. Oak Hill was the home of several generations of the Stevens, who with the Stewarts, are buried nearby.
