AKA Buckner Plantation. John and Deborah (Ferrers) Buckner family were the 1st to settle this farm land in 1667. John brought the 1st printing press to the Virginia Colony. The brick home was built in 1732 and in ruins today.

William and Lucy (Taliaferro) Jones family bought the farm from the Buckner's in 1782 and added a wing onto the home. There is an old burying ground there in ruins and very hard to find, in it are tombstones of the Buckners, Joneses, and Fields and many with out markers.

"Marlfield" sold in 1904 from the Jones's to Mr. Z. T. Gray. The Jones had the house and land 125 years during that time it was one of the social centers of the county. The large chimneys, open fireplaces, lovely staircase, mantels, and paneling were typical of the period. There was a large amount of timber on the place when Mr. Gray bought it; in fact, that was why he bought the place. He sold large quantities of timber.
The grounds are over-grown, the house is in ruins, and the old graveyard, with its fine old vaults and tombstones, is also over-grown. Here lie the ancestors of the Buckners, Fields and Jones families.
