LOT 24 YORK ROAD
A SUMMARY OF REPORT
LOCATION:
Colonial Lot 24 lies on the north side of York Road near the intersection of Waller Street with York Road. (See: Tyler's adaptation of the College Map -(1791?) plat-opposite page.) It is marked "Jackson."
THE HOUSE:
The Frenchman's Map (1782) indicates that two houses which faced on York Road were on this property (Lot 24). No dependencies appear on the map.
In April, 1749 when William Waller made a survey map of the lands which Benjamin Waller had acquired by way of Mann Page, the dimensions of Lot 24 were 8 poles on the west boundary line, 8 poles on the north line and 7 poles on the eastern boundary line. The south boundary was not put down in poles. In 1757 Benjamin Waller conveyed Lot 24 to Lewis Hansford, the consideration named being twenty pounds current money of Virginia. In order to hold the lot, Hansford was required to build on the lot one house sixteen feet in width and [deed blurred] feet in length within three years; the house to have a brick chimney and to front in a line with the row of lot in which it stands at six feet from southern bounds. Hansford held the property until ca. 1773-1774 when it became the property of George Jackson, merchant. While Hansford was the owner it was occupied by Mrs. Steel, his mother. In advertising his property for sale in 1767, Hansford refers to "a new house". This may have been a second house erected by him as the first must have been built prior to 1760 in order for him to hold the property. Jackson's ownership of the property comes within the period 1773-74 to 1812. While owner Jackson made extensive repairs and changes to the building or buildings thereon. From the accounts of Humphrey Harwood, Williamsburg carpenter and brick mason, it is evident that repairs were made to a house of 4 rooms or more with closets, passages, kitchen, cellar, shed and stairway. Upon the death of Jackson in 1794, by will the property descended to the daughter, Sarah Jackson. The dwelling is noted as "my House and lot whare I dwell that is to say jowning Mr Mortons & Mr Lefongs during her Natural life-time." The property was held as "George Jackson's Estate" until 1812 when John Powell is charged with the lot "via Jackson." Powell-or his estate held the property until 1851 when Sarah Jackson again becomes the owner holding to her death (1854). Her estate held until 1858. By 1865 the lot was owned by Julia Taylor's estate. In 1888 it became the property of T. B. Mahone who conveyed in 1915 to Robert Green. Lucy Lamb Kelly was the owner in 1925. It was conveyed to Colonial Williamsburg, Incorporated, in 1939. Mr. John S. Charles writing of Williamsburg as he remembered it in 1861-65, stated that this lot had "the one-and-a-half story frame house with dormer windows now there, and the second house from the corner. This house that was in 1861 in good condition is now dilapidated and inhabited by negroes." The house was wrecked in 1931. Measured drawing made in 1931 indicate a house 16 ½ feet by 24 ½; enlarged to 24 ½ by 26 ½ feet with a wing 18 ½ by 28 ½ feet. These dimensions seem to aline themselves with the first house built on the lot by 1760 as well as the size of the house foundations now being excavated on the lot.
COLONIAL LOT 24 YORK ROAD
LOCATION:
Lot 24 is located on the north side of York Road. On Tyler's adaptation of the College Map (1791?) the lot is designated "Jackson." See: Plat opposite page.
HISTORY:
An Act of Assembly of Virginia in 1744 gave Mann Page of Rosewell the right to sell and dispose of certain entailed lands in order to settle his father's estate. Among the property listed was "seven hundred acres of land, or thereabouts, adjoining the city of Williamsburg, in the county of York."1
In April, 1749 William Waller made a survey of the York Road and Capitol Landing sections of these lands. At this date Benjamin Waller was the owner by way of Mann Page. A plat of the lots is drawn in the court records of York County.2
Another Act of Assembly in 1756 added these lots to the city of Williamsburg:
I. WHEREAS it hath been represented to this General Assembly, That Benjamin Waller, gentleman, hath laid out a certain parcel of his lands, in the counties of York and James-City., contiguous to the city of Williamsburg, at the east end thereof, into lots, and the purchasers of the said lots have petitioned that they may be taken into the limits of the said city, and enjoy all the privileges of the freeholders and inhabitants thereof: Be it enacted, by the Lieutenant-Governor, Council, and Burgesses, of this present General Assembly, and it is hereby enacted, by the authority of the same, That the lands laid out, as aforesaid, by the said Benjamin Waller, into lots adjoining the said city, so soon as the same shall be built upon and saved according to the condition of the deeds of conveyance, shall be added to, and made part of the said city of Williamsburg; and the freeholders and inhabitants thereof shall then be entitled thereto, and have, and enjoy all the rights, privileges, and immunities granted to, or enjoyed by, the freeholders and inhabitants of the said city; and shall be subject to the same jurisdiction, rules, and government with the other inhabitants of the said city.32
In June, 1757 Benjamin Waller transferred by deed lot 24 to Lewis Hansford of Norfolk:

Lewis Hansford was the son of William Hansford of York County and Mary Holt of Surry County. Following the death of William Hansford, his widow married Steel [first name not known]. Lewis Hansford as early as 1752 was living in Norfolk where he engaged in a mercantile business.1 Mrs. Steel, his mother, lived upon his property in Williamsburg until her death in 1767. In her will, Mrs. Steel names a son, Lewis Hansford. An inventory of her property indicates no lot or house only personal property. From this and other information to follow, we are lead to believe that Mrs. Steel occupied Lot 24 until her death [sometime after October 30, 1765 and before May 21, 1767]:2

Hansford prior to the recording of his mother's will, advertised through his agents the property in Williamsburg "whereon Mrs. Steel lately lived" was for sale: In fact, between May 21, 1767 and November 1, 1770 the property was offered for sale four times in the Virginia Gazette:

RO: C. NICHOLAS.3
NOVEMBER 1, 1770
To be SOLD before Mr. Hay's door to the highest bidder on Wednesday the 17th instant,
THE HOUSE and LOT where Mrs. Steel formerly lived just below Mr. Lewis's store. Credit will be given till the 25th of April next.1
According to the Frenchman's Map (1782) two houses appear on the lot which is obviously lot 24. See: copy in Illustration # 1. We interpret the two houses to be (1) a house built between 1757 and 1760 by Lewis Hansford in order to comply with the regulations in the deed from Waller; and (2) "a new house" erected prior to November 1767: also built by Hansford.
Hansford, evidently, did not succeed in selling the property until ca. 1773-74. The deed from Hansford to George Jackson has not been found in the York County Records.2 It is possible that a part of the lot lay in James City County, or the transaction was recorded in the General Court Records- both of which have largely been destroyed. It appears that George Jackson was the owner of the lot by 1774 according to a newspaper account of his death. Proof will follow chronologically.
The Williamsburg Land Tax Records which begin in 1782, indicate that George Jackson held "1 lot with valuation for tax at £2."3 In 1786 the valuation changes, which would indicate that Jackson had made additions or other changes to the houses on the property. At this date, the property is valued at £10. George Jackson held only one lot in Williamsburg until his death in 1794 according to the Land Tax Records. With this fact in mind we are citing the 6 changes made to his property from 1783 to 1793 by Humphrey Harwood, Williamsburg carpenter and brick mason. In Illustration #3 of the report are copies of Jackson's accounts with Harwood. In 1783-84 Harwood made repairs for Jackson such as plastering, whitewashing 4 rooms & a closet, repairs to chimney and hearth, repairing steps and grate. In 1785-86 there were items as whitewashing 3 rooms and 2 passages, repairing plastering, 7400 bricks, setting up a grate, under~pining kitchen, building cellar wall. In 1787 repairs were made as building up a wall in cellar, lime, plastering, underpining store, underpining shed & building chimney, 1034 laths, underpining trimmer, laying hearths, repairing lathing in store & up stairs, plastering 34 yds. in store, pointing chimney, whitewashing a room &c. In 1788-89 Harwood continued to repair plastering over store, "lay a platform in back yard to keep the Water from yr Cellar", laid 2 hearths in kitchen and house, building a pair of steps, whitewashing 4 rooms & 2 passages, &c. In 1793 the account shows items as 1 bushel of whitewash, whitewashing for rooms, passage and stairway.1
Jackson's will written February 12, 1793 and recorded April 21, 1794 in York County made certain bequests of the property:
…7[bequeaths] daughter Sarah Jackson my House and lot whare I dwell that is to say jowning Mr Mortons & Mr Lefongs during her Natural lifetime and after her decease I give the same to my son George Blackburn Jackson for ever--[gives Ann Jackson, daughter, and George Blackburn Jackson, son, personal estate "with the moiety of what is coming to me from my Fathers Estate in England…" to George Blackburn Jackson.]
George Jackson.Teste Peter Powell

An inventory and appraisement of goods and merchandize at sterling prices belonging to Jackson's estate was recorded in September 1794. The total was £427.17.0. The merchandize comprised velvets, corduroy, cashmere, fustian, jeans, duroy, shalloon, camblet, buckram, ticken, hollandsheeting, linen, cambrick, black gauze, Barcelona silk,stockings,gloves, hats, knives, shoes, buckles, cutlery, thread, china, glass ... 271 pounds candle wick &c &c.1
We do not know whether Jackson's store was located on Lot 24 or not. It possibly was, as he owned no other property in Williamsburg. Jackson would hardly have made repairs, (if renting a storehouse), such as "underpining store", "plastering over store", "lathing in store". He could have used one house on the lot as a dwelling and the other for a store.
In 1854 upon the death of Sarah Jackson, daughter of George Jackson, a newspaper notice stated that she was 73 years old- "The last survivor of a once numerous family- and the youngest child but one of George Jackson, who died in Williamsburg sixty years ago- a patriot who, at a gloomy period of the American Revolution, chartered a vessel to Bermuda, and there secretly at eminent peril of life, procured a supply of gun powder, with which he returned in safety to the old Dominion, and placed in the possession of his then desponding country."2
The Bucktrout Map (1803) indicates "Jackson" on Lot 24. Copy in Research Department.
The property continued as the estate of George Jackson until 1812 when it was conveyed to John Powell---"1 lot-tax valuation $50 via Jackson."3 Powell held the property until 1825 when his estate is charged with "1 lot--$500; $450 sum added on account of the building." In 1851 Sarah Jackson had come into 8 "1 lot valued with building at $600; added for building $500" which is the same valuations as charged to John Powell estate in 1850.1
Sarah Jackson died in May 1854. The Virginia Gazette of May 11, 1854 stated that Sarah Jackson died ... "at the residence of her relative, Robert Anderson, in York Town, in the 73rd year of her age...At the time of Miss Jackson's death the three homesteads in the ancient Metropolis of Virginia had remained as many as four score years in the possession of descendants of their former owners, add that of the deceased was one of them."2
The property remained as Sarah Jackson's Estate until 1858. No tax transfers indicate who came into the property.3
The Williamsburg Land Book of 1865 lists what appear to be lot 23 and lot 24 as one lot, in the name of Julia Taylor's estate.4 This property was conveyed in 1888 by heirs of Julia Taylor to T. B. Mahone.5 In 1915 Mahone conveyed what was lot 24 to Robert Green. The parcel was described as follows:
One lot on York Street, 50 feet front and 100 feet deep, more or less, in the City of Williamsburg, Virginia, and bounded as follows: North by the land of L. W. Lane, Sr., 50 feet, south by York Street, west by the lot of T. B. Mahone, and east by the property of Eugene Potts.6
In 1925 Green and heirs of his wife, conveyed to Lucy Lamb Kelly. The description was as deed of 1915.7 By deed of August 22, 1939, Lucy Lamb Kelly 9 and Monroe Kelly, her husband, conveyed the property to Colonial Williamsburg, Incorporated.1
Further details of the various conveyances can be found in the chain to title, Accounting Department, Colonial Williamsburg.
Mr. John S. Charles, an old citizen of Williamsburg in 1928, wrote his "Recollections" of the city during the Civil War and a few years before. He described a house standing on what would be Lot 24 at that date:
"On the north side of "York" (often called Woodpecker Street), the houses there in 1861 were: the one-and-a-half story frame house with dormer windows now there, and the second house from the corner. This house that was in 1861 in good condition is now dilapidated and inhabited by negroes ..."2
A photograph of East Williamsburg (053-852) (1-18-27-10A) (20-500)-Colonial Williamsburg- shows a story and a half house with gables, apparently on lot 24.
The house on lot 24 was wrecked in 1931. Pictures of this house can be seen in Photograph Book, Architectural Department, Bl 7 B 14-N60l (1928).
Excavations hate been completed recently on the lot. Foundations of a house 23 by 26 were uncovered and an addition towards the east 18 by 28 was discovered also. The addition may have been the storehouse of Jackson. However, a 19th. century chimney foundation was on the east front of the addition.3
