The Rotherwood Mansion of Kingsport was built by successful plantation owner and town founder Frederick Ross, who had a daughter named Rowena. Rowena's life was plagued by tragedy. Her first love died in a boating accident on the day of their wedding, and her second husband died of yellow fever. After marrying again and becoming a parent, she watched her only daughter died. Overcome with grief, Rowena killed herself. People claim to have seen her ghost, dressed in white, walking the halls of Rotherwood.
