Just an interesting bit of information taken from:
"The Ancestry of Allen Grinnell Cleaver and Martha Irene Jessup" compiled by William Jessup Cleaver and published by Gateway Publishing in Baltimore, MD.

From the Perquimans Co., NC History we find a description of the Jessup house. It had one large room with 2 shed rooms in the rear. The shed rooms were probably used for sleeping since there was no stair to the tiny loft over the front room. The house had a large double shouldered flemish bond chimney. The house was not far from Blanchards Bridge over the Perquimans River. The old Wells Meeting House was near the Jessup home and was eventually used as a school house, called the "Jessops Schoolhouse.'
