In 1812 Marth Allston, the daughter of Benjamin Allston, Sr., married John Pyatt and moved into the house. The house remained the Pyatt family until 1896. They owned four rice plantations, Turkey Hill, Oatland, Richmond and Rosemont. In 1791 George Washington toured the South, including Georgetown.
