One mile west was the home of Joseph Early, Revolutionary soldier. Washington, in going west and returning, stopped at Early’s overnight. His diary for October 2, 1884, shows that he spent the night before at “Widow Early’s.”

Marker is at the intersection of Seminole Trail (U.S. 29) and Wolftown-Hood Road (Virginia Route 230), on the right when traveling south on Seminole Trail.
