Abstract:
The story of the historic homes located in Jones County could fill a book. Well-known houses include Sen. Furnifold Simmon's home located between Trenton and Pollocksville, and the Foscue house, thought to be haunted, one of the first brick dwellings in the county. In addition to Simmons and Foscue, other well-known individuals resided in Jones, including Furnifold Brock, a North Carolina Senator.
