History
This plantation house was built by Captain Jack Stoney – a Revolutionary War Hero – in 1793. It was part of the larger Braddock’s Point Plantation.
It was originally an 1,885 square foot house made of wood, shells and sand which overlooked Calibogue Sound. As well as the main house there was also an overseer’s house and a slave’s quarters.
In 1837 the Baynard family took over ownership of the property. How they became the new owners is somewhat questionable. Legend says either the Stoney family went bankrupt or lost the home in a poker game.
William Baynard created a successful cotton plantation before his death in 1849 but the property was raided and occupied by Union forces during the Civil War. Shortly after the war the plantation was burned to the ground and has remained in ruins since.
Paranormal Activity
William Baynard’s apparition is often seen on the old plantation grounds – sometimes his entire funeral procession comes out of the fog passing the old house headed for the family mausoleum.
His ghost is also seen near the family mausoleum.
