释义 |
The grounds of Belvale are reputed to harbor a ghost of a young man killed in a duel who was buried under a cedar tree, reputedly with Washington's assistance in digging the grave and planting the cedar tree.[5] The Historic American Buildings Survey documentation of the house, which is a private residence,[6] states that a cemetery which may have been a slave burial ground is on the property, though it is no longer extant.[5][7] References1. ^1 Beth Mitchell. 1977.
