description

The Jeffreys family, American Indians in Orange County, built furniture in the early part of the 19th century. It is possible that members of the family worked with well-known African American cabinetmaker Thomas Day for a short time in Hillsborough. This article appeared in the Fall 2005 issue of Tar Heel Junior Historian magazine. Available now at: http://www.ncmuseumofhistory.org/collateral/articles/F05.Indian.cabinetmakers.pdf
