 * Thanks for that mention. I added the asking price into the article with reference to DailyPress.Com article you pointed out.  Also added mention about sale of contents at auction, in another DailyPress.Com article of today, which I only found because i was looking for your one there. Thanks! doncram (talk) 19:59, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

more work needed
Beginning in 1981, the Colonial Williamsburg plantation sponsored investigations of slaves' lives on this plantation, and reconstructed slave quarters in 1988. I doubt they're still open to tourists, given the two 21st century sales and that someone inquired about their status in 2019 and two contributors didn't know. Yesterday I made triage revisions to this article, and don't know when I'll be able to do more beyond this morning's fix to the web page link to the NRIS at the current Virginia DHR site. Lorena Walsh's book, published and republished by the University of Virginia Press, for years made these slaves' lives the most-documented in Virginia. I was actually trying to figure out who owned the property between 1843 and 1878, and was surprised I couldn't figure that out from the picture-filled book written by the Colonial Williamsburg foundation. Given my other obligations and that I far exceeded the restricted special collections time both Saturday and Monday in this Covid-era, I wasn't able to read her whole book to figure out who owned the property after Nathaniel Burwell's second wife/widow died in 1843, much less distinguish between the last 3 men of the same name to sit in Virginia's House of Delegates before the Civil War. Oddly, the man who bought Carter's Grove in 1879 was a delegate from Nansemond County in about that date, but I also wasn't able to research him nor go online with ancestry.com. For what it's worth, Carter's Grove had extensive archeological digs which hoped to locate further late colonial and Revolutionary war era buildings but which instead located Wolstenholme town, per the Martin's Hundred book also republished by the University of Virginia Press and cited.Jweaver28 (talk) 12:51, 18 August 2020 (UTC)Jweaver28 (talk) 12:16, 20 August 2020 (UTC)Jweaver28 (talk) 12:17, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
