It appears from a brief perusal of the online deed records that this property and those immediately adjacent were owned by Henderson Faribault, 1843-1902, who appears to be buried in the Margaret Lane cemetery.

Per Rosetta Moore in "The Impact of Slavery On the Education of Blacks in Orange County, North Carolina: 1619-1970," Faribault was a cook at the Concord Hotel, at the Bingham School in Mebane, and at UNC-G, among other stints. With his wife, Peggy Long-Faribault, he had eight children who attended the Congregational School at Hillsborough. Per Moore, he amassed forty acres and left each child a home.
