Notes

The Bond plantation on the Hardware river has been located by Eleanor Marshall from New Orleans. Highway 6 crosses the Hardware River a few miles from Scottsville, VA. Years ago there was a covered bridge here called" Temperance Bridge." Today there is a roadside picnic area at the bridge called Temperance. Immediately after crossing the bridge, traveling toward Richmond, there is a curving driveway leading rather steeply up a hill through an avenue of ancient cedar trees to a white, two story frame house of the typical style of architecture seen throughout the Virginia countryside. The walk leading from the driveway to the house was bordered with huge English boxwoods. There were several cedars in the yard and, like those on the driveway, they were large and old. Everything was in a beautiful state of repair. No houses are near enough to mar the scenery. The house is owned by Mr. Stokes in Richmond ,who comes out on weekends, but he has a caretaker to watch the place. He told me that he bought in 1848 from a Burgess. Ms. Marshall found from inquiries that the house had been built by Pleasant Burgess, son of John and Elizabeth in about 1830. The family cemetery is on the next hill to between the house and Highway 6. It was quite large with at least two rows of stones with headstones upstanding, eight in all. There were many sunken places and some broken headstones just above ground. There were several cedars in the cemetery. The cemetery is enclosed by a three foot binder block wall and barb wire fence.

Linda Demlo and I visited the place in Nov1992. The cemetery was in very bad condition with several of the grave makers fallen over. I photographed several that were still standing. Mr. Butler, the caretaker, was there working on a fallen fuel tank. He told us that the place was called Lotus Grove Plantation. The current tenant allowed us to see the house. He was a young student at a local school. The house was dirty and badly maintained. It was furnished like a student dormitory and the tenant kept two large dogs in the house.
