Neighboring the property is what is believed to be the oldest grave in Patrick County, belonging to J.E.B. Stuart’s maternal great-grandfather, William Letcher. A Revolutionary Patriot and member of the local militia, his life was taken in 1780 at his home by a Tory sympathizer believed to be William “Bill” Nichols.
