RE: Mourning Shield
The Hill family of Shirley Plantation, Charles City, Virginia, descendants of Robert "King" Carter, as well as the mother of Robert E. Lee, own two of these funeral hatchments. They are quite large and hang on the wall in their entrance hall. They have been in their family since the 17th Century.
