Fredericksburg Virginia wikipedia history - Doggett timeline references

"I've attached a picture of Cotton Farm in Lively, Virginia, where Lola
Haynie Scott was born (it's a painting by John Barber called Chesapeake
Country (I believe).  The house, barn and windmill are still there. It's
very lovely.  Cotton Farm adjoins Epping Forest, where George Washington's
mother, Mary, was born and lived." ~ Thank you so kindly for the image and information from Judy Krongold

 

"The city has close associations with George Washington, whose family moved to Ferry Farm in Stafford County just off the Rappahannock River opposite Fredericksburg in... 1738. Washington's mother Mary later moved to the city, and his sister Betty lived at Kenmore, a plantation house then outside the city. Other significant early residents include the
Revolutionary War generals Hugh Mercer and George Weedon, naval war hero John Paul Jones, and future U.S. president James Monroe."
