Winslow, Jr. Sometimes prior to his death in 1752 Register of Deeds Macrora Scarborough had erected a swelling house on the Courthouse lot. It stood by the River behind the present home of Mrs. T. P. Brinn, on a site which would become lot 10 in the town lof Hertford. Scarborough's executors sold it to Col. John Harvey on 21 July 1755. (Calling it the house and lot where James Boush lived, Harvey willed it in 1775 to his son Miles, who sold it to Joshua Skinner in 1776. Skinner sold it in 1820 to the deacons of Bethel Baptist Church, to be used for the benefit of a Baptist church of Hertford.) An unsuccessful -attempt had been made in 1746 to lay out a town around the Courthouse. The efforts of Johny Harvey in the General Assembly were fruitful, however, and in 1758 the town of Hertford was incorporated. Johathan Phelps sold half his farm for the town. In the plan of the new town, the Courthouse lot received definition, being bounded by Church and Front Streets, ex tending from the present home of Lindsey C. Winslow to the present Blanchard's Store lot. (Grubb Street did not then cross Church.) farts of the original public ground were converted to private use. "Some ill disposed person or persons having by fire nearly consumed the prison in the county of Perquimans, and the taxes heretofore collected. . . is insufficient", the Assembly of 1787 passed a law levying a tax for 1787 and 1788 of 1 shilling on each poll, 4 pence on each 100 acres of land, and 1 shilling on each 100 pounds value of town property. The money was to be used "for the purpose of repairing the said prison and building a gaoler's house" with any overplus going "towards the repairing the courthouse." Further, the Court decided in July 1789 "That the frequent Escapes which are made from the Gaol in the Town of Hertford is in a great Measure Owing to the want of a Gaolers House & some Carefull Person to reside therein as Gaoler It is therefore ordered that Charles Moore and William Skinner Esquires be appointed as Commissioners to Contract with Some workman for Erecting a Gaolers House, Contiguous to the said Gaol, (631 All-Expense Trip To Fla. For N . Carolina Family Some lucky North Carolina family will win a week's all- expense trip to Lehigh Acres Fla., for the entire family -Mom, Dad, and the kids- as the North Carolina entry in the "All- American Family Search," conducted by the Ail-American Family Institute, Miami, Fla. The institute seeks to find honor the nation's number one typical family and will conduct seminars and competitions at Lehigh Acres, August 15-23, to reach that decision. Added distinction can come to the wife and mother- selected from the finalists representing the states and the districts of Columbia-who will be named "Mrs. U. S. Savings Bond, 1970- 71, "Mrs. Savings Bonds" will tavel the country thereafter, as the good-will ambassador for the Department of the Treasury, U. S. Savings Bonds Program. There is still time for local families to submit their entries.'

By the following April the jailer's house was completed and A. zander Stafford was ap pointed jailor. His duties were "to pay due attention to the Receipt of all Prisoners com mitted to the said Jail & furnish them with necessaries as the Law may Direct & that he be intitled to the fees arising for all Committments & releasements as well as feeding aggreeable to law - and as a further com pensation to the said Jailer it is agreed to by the unanimous Voice of this Court that he be permitted to entertain all per sons whatever as a publican without any other license than this order & that he may charge the same as other Publicans agreeable to the r a t e established by this court and the court do consider that the sd Jailer shall be answerable for any misconduct in office and removable at" pleasure." (Publicans were tavern keepers.) As United States Com missioner of Loans, William Skinner was granted permission in May 1792 to erect an office "in the Eastermost End of the Court House to Extend from the Southermost corner towards the Eastermost door eleven feet & then across on a Square to the Stairs & then by the Stair Case to the Westermost End." The Court in August 1792 "orderded that the Sheriff Hire some workman to build up the stocks & pillory in Hertford in a good strong & faithful manner." John Harvey was authorized in February 1793 to "emport from the Northward a stove for the use of the Court." (Stoves were unusual in that day of open fireplaces. This one was ap parently sold to John Clary in May 1809 for 7 pounds 6 shillings.) Applications may be obtained from any Dodge dealer ; The U.S. Savings Bonds Representative, Walter P.
