Caswell County History
Bartlett Yancey (1785-1828) did not die in what now is known as the Bartlett Yancey House in Yanceyville (many decades later desecrated by a restaurant). He died at his summer home "Oakland" near Milton, Caswell County, North Carolina.

Some years ago Sallie Anderson mentioned a pencil sketch of Oakland that had been drawn inside the cover of a book once owned by the Bartlett Yancey family. Somebody has that book, but I don’t remember who has it. The house was located on the Dan River somewhere off the present day Culver Rd. Apparently it burned and the brick shell was taken down and the brick sold for use elsewhere.
