!["In 1758 William Few moved south to the Eno to escape the frosts of Maryland. The ford near his gristmill was a cross-roads for a pastoral community big enough by 1760 to warrant a school teacher. Many years later, that amiable man was gratefully recalled by one of his 30 pupils, the younger William Few, Signer of the United States Constitution.
His school many have been the beginning of the Piper-Cabe School. It is also possible that this was the field school, far from home, that William Holden walked to as a child and remembered with passionate commitment as Governor of North Carolina. The large wooden schoolhouse, according to living memory, stood on a knoll overlooking the ford, next to the Piper graveyard knoll, near a good spring from which the school children fetched water and within view of the Piper-Dixon House at the ford."
