From 1713, this house and lot passed through several families. Names such as Pigott, Cooke, Perry, Duncan, and Nelson are all mentioned in the research on the house. In 1875 Thomas Duncan sold the property
In 1852 David B. Wharton and Susan Davis Wharton purchased the property from Guy Buckman for $600. Although this home has been referred to over the years as being a "hotel" during the Civil War, it may have been built as a single-family home when first constructed and shortly afterwards became a boarding house.
Sophia Merwin and her daughter, Elizabeth Merwin, lived in the home for many years. In 1962 she configured the historic plaque design that is still used today to mark houses over 100 years old.
Legend tells us that Blackbeard stayed here for a while with an 18 year-old French common-law wife who was not a willing occupant. The pirated evidently got so angry with her that he hanged her from an oak tree in the back yard.

It is interesting to imagine sitting on this charming little cottage porch in the early 1900's--witnessing the train which used to run down Broad Street--as it first brought the outside world to Beaufort. As it rumbled through this short block it would have also passed three neighborhood sundry shops which sold everything from fabric to penny candy and 5-cent sour pickles. This cottage was built by Charley Wheatley and his wife Emily Noe after Emily's father, Benjamin R. Noe, sold them some of his adjacent property for $75.
This home, the epitome of Bahamian architecture, was the town house of Colonel John Easton.
Built in the Greek Revival style just after the Civil War, this was the home of Jacob Gibble, a lumber dealer. It was later transferred through marriage to the Delamar family, remaining in the Gibble-Delamar family for 106 years. It has been said that the northeast front room was the site of many births, perhaps to all of their six children.
If this house could talk, it could bring to light much of the mystery and hauntedness that has surrounded this home for over 300 years.
Even though legend ties this house to Blackbeard and other pirates and traders during its early years, it was most likely built as an inn or “ordinary” to house sea and land travelers.
When Beaufort was still in its infancy, Rustull built a house for his family that, through succeeding generations, would become known locally as the Ward-Hancock.
Richard Rustull played an important role in the development of Beaufort. He increased the size of the town from its original 100 acres to 200 acres. He helped established a church to be known as St. John’s Parish, gave land to be used for the courthouse, and served as Justice of the Peace and Customs officer. One of his numerous responsibilities was collector of the King’s taxes.

This old gabled roof Bahamian-style home, with its unique position on the west end of Front Street facing Taylor’s Creek and Beaufort Inlet to the south and Gallant’s Channel and Piver’s Island to the west, has had a front-row seat to centuries of Beaufort history. From the upper porch owners had a birds-eye view of the shelling at Fort Macon during the Civil War.
The Duncan House was the first house to be plaqued.
