Gray. The Jones had the house and land 125 years during that time it was one of the social centers of the county. The large chimneys, open fireplaces, lovely staircase, mantels, and paneling were typical of the period. There was a large amount of timber on the place when Mr. Gray bought it; in fact, that was why he bought the place. He sold large quantities of timber.The grounds are over-grown, the house is in ruins, and the old graveyard, with its fine old vaults and tombstones, is also over-grown.
