Trustees buy school land for a church.

On 30 May 1913, the Wilson County Board of Education sold Frank Baines and Thomas Jones, trustees of an unnamed church, a one-quarter acre tract “in the northwest corner of the school lot, District #2 colored, Old Fields Township” to be used for a church.

Deed book 97, page 258, Wilson County Register of Deeds Office, Wilson.

Where in Old Fields was the District #2 colored school? Was this the land upon which Jones Hill Primitive Baptist Church was built?
