Located on Indian Ridge Road south of Shawboro.  Present owner is J.M. Roberts who bought it from a descendant of William Ferebee (1722-1783).  Part of original Ferebee property.  Originally had a cellar.  Note fan-light in peak of kitchen.  This kitchen was built as a model for the Providence Baptist Church at Shawboro.

UPDATE 2/18/2006 from Anne Jennings: This home is still standing and well cared for. It has also been known as the "Humphries - Roberts House".  The house was built by John Humphries in 1820 and deeded to Adelia Moore in 1843. There is an area of red clay on that part of Indian Ridge and the Humphries-Roberts farm was known for having a brick kiln.

James Monroe Roberts was born in Camden Co., NC on 10 Jan 1878 and was the son of Thomas L.(1830-1881) & Elizabeth Morrisette Roberts (1834-1896). On 23 Jan. 1902 he married Ida Perkins who was born in Sligo, NC on 15 Jan. 1881.  Ida was the daughter of Charles L. & Buena Vista Cherry Perkins.  Jim Roberts bought the Humphries home in 1911.  It was in this home that Jim and Ida reared 10 sons and 2 daughters. Their oldest son was George Frank Roberts (23 April 1903 - 27  Nov. 1989) who married Alma Owens (22 July 1907 - 11 Feb. 1981) on 16 July 1921. Jim Roberts' youngest son and daughter-in-law still live in the house today.  A story has been handed down orally that during the Civil War some of the Union troops rode horses up the stairs into the house looking for valuables hidden in the attic. There are some marks in the floor of the entry that appear to be made by horseshoes.
