Description
"Six miles northwest of New Bern, N.C., is the ancient brick mansion, 'Bellair,' where once lived William Blount, one of the three North Carolina signers of the Federal Constitution. Later Blount moved to Tennessee, where he became a United States Senator and Governor of the territory South of the River Ohio. G. Carraway, New Bern, N.C." [The description of the photo written by Gertrude Carraway incorrectly lists and describes William Blount as a former owner. It should have been Wilson Blount.]
