Belle Grove Plantation

[L Verge]

When you go on the website and read the history of the house and the various families that owned it, lo and behold, the Thorntons and the Conways were related; so maybe the current owners are correct in saying that the ferry was, at some point, owned by Belle Grove people.

That whole website is fascinating, right down to what the restoration has entailed. I even decided to overlook the fact that they really need to have a proofreader make corrections -- and the fact that they consistently spell "Herold" as "Harold!" I will say that at certain points, they are quoting from earlier writers who spelled it wrong also.
