This place was three miles south. Little remains of the house. John Carter obtained patents for a large grant here before 1654, but the place is better known as the home of his son, Robert (“King”) Carter. In April 1814, the British, raiding in the Chesapeake Region, pillaged the plantation.

Marker is on Christ Church Road (County Route 646) just south of Weems Road (Virginia Route 222), on the left when traveling north.
