"Lovingston, seat of Nelson County, is a one street community in the center of a large apple raising area...
"Right on County 604 to Warminster, where in the middle of the eighteenth century DR. WILLIAM CABELL, first of the Virginia CABELLS, established a terminal for batteaux carrying inland produce down the river.....
"Left on County 604 to Edgewood, once the home of JOSEPH CARRINGTON CABELL (1776-1856). The frame house, enlarged soon after Cabell bought it from ROBERT RIVES in 1807, has an unusual charm rather than architectural distinction....A member of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia from the beginning in 1819, CABELL was twice rector, the second time from 1845 until his death in 1856....
"Right from Wingina on Countyb647 to Soldier's Joy, constructed by Colonel Samuel J. Cabell shortly after the Revolution. The house was more than 140 feet in length but is now reduced to half its original size. COLONEL CABELL (1756/1818) was congressman from 1795 to 1803.
"On County 647 is Union Hill, a large square frame house built in 1775 by COLONEL WILLIAM CABELL as the seat of a 25,000 acre estate. Here the Hanover Presbytery met November 1774 and prepared a petition to the house of burgesses asking that the 1772 Act of Toleration be amended to allow dissenters' free exercise of our religion, without molestation or dange of incurring any penalty whatever'. On 5 Jun 1781 the Virginia assembly and Gov. Thomas JEFFERSON, in flight from British raiders under Tarleton, stopped here."
