John Mask Peace Jr. (1774-1852) and his wife Frances Maria Reed (1790-1874) married on July 20, 1810 and had ten children between 1811 and 1834: William, Jackline, Elizabeth, Josephine S., Josephine L., Joseph, John, Josephus, Lucinda and Julian. Only Jackline married and had a family; the rest of the children remained at home. By 1850 John Mask's farm was valued at $2,000. John Mask's children Josephus and Lucinda were the last members of the Peace family to live on Bambro plantation lands. Josephus died intestate in 1915 and his acreage was divided into six tracts, with Lucinda inheriting the parcel of land containing the John Mask Peace House and two hundred acres. Lucinda left her property to the Methodist Orphanage of Wake County after her death in 1917. Land speculators W.T. Yancey and E.L. Parham bought the property from the Methodist Orphanage, and subsequently sold it to Allen and Rosalee Cole. Allen and Rosalee Cole purchased the house and two hundred acres in 1939 and built the outbuildings that are still extant on the property. They left the property to their children. Their daughter Mildred and her husband Willard Jackson currently own the house and are renovating it for use as a bed and breakfast inn.
