Block 2-1, 1940 Map

^{1st Copy}

A town map dating from near the close of the eighteenth century indicates that the land on which this building stands was at the time in the possessions of some member of the Carter family. (Map of the Unknown Draftsman)

Tradition tells that a negro family lived in the house at the time of the War Between the States. (John S. Charles, "Recollections", p. 69)

Since the house was located in James City County, the public records of which were destroyed during the War Between the States, little is known of its history.
