At 220 acres, Jack Daw Hall was the home plantation for William Meggett Murray. The main house burned during the Civil War, but the outbuildings survived. Murray died before he was able to recover Jack Daw from the federal government in 1866.[1]

Jack Daw Hall was located next to Bleak Hall Plantation.
