Maple Lawn

the Ancestral home of the James Sidney Jones since 1759
in 1866 John W Moore and wife Ann Ward moved here
[Ann had inherited the farm]

– Maple Lawn, Hertford County, North Carolina
(Sally’s Childhood Home)
– first remodeled 1828 [brick in right chimney] by
James Sidney Jones III. He enlarged the house to make a more healthy home for himself, his mother and sisters than the old 18th-century place at the Jones Hole.
About 1910 the old house (ca. 1760) at the Jones Hole was torn down and its lumber was used in the construction of the barn of Maple Lawn and the sheds on the smokehouse. Uncle Godwin may have used some of the material in building his tenant house.

Maple Lawn – it is said that the left front room with upstairs already existed as overseer’s home.
