Brent Spence was born in Ireland in 1796. He came to America along with his brothers, John Spence and Marman Spence. John lived in Davidson County on Lebanon Pike until his death in 1824. Marman removed to Rutherford County and lived in Murfreesboro until his death in 1847.
About 1818, Brent became partners with Peter? Bass in the form of Bass and Spence, selling goods in Nashville.
Brent married Elizabeth Shute in April 1824 and “for love and affection” her father John Shute gave them a few hundred acres on Charlotte Pike near Richland Creek where they built their home they called Casa Loma. It was built in Greek Revival style with great columns in front and four rooms upstairs over four down. In later years an ell was added to the rear.
They had 5 children together and Elizabeth died there between 1836 and 1840.
In Brent’s later years he had offered his plantation for sale in the Nashville newspapers but he died in 1868 without having sold it and it was divided among his heirs.
