Home Site- Nelson County, Virginia
The land was part of the original deed to Dr. William Cabell in 1739. The property was the western most home site of the early Cabell homes and located near Gladstone Station, Nelson County, Virginia. There are no remains of the house today although in 1991 part of the property remained in the Horsley family. Mary Cabell and William Horsley are thought to be buried here.
