RICHMOND AND VICINITY cherished this spot as a precious playground in their childhood, and later in their youth, as a trysting place of many a happy friendship. Who knows but that here was made many a pledge of troth between happy lovers? Tradition says nowhere was hospitality more abundant or more cordially extended. In this home were entertained the Pendletons, Taylors, Prices, Fontaines, and Dabneys, of Hanover County, and later, the Todds, Garnetts, and Fauntleroys, of King and Queen.

She answered, “I have no acquaintances in the Yankee army.” In 1866, this daughter of the Confederacy married Rev. F. B. Converse, editor of The Christian Observer, of Louisville.
