""Belmont"
#1. The land was first given to William Cabell by the British King
#2. Robert Rives got the land in 1797, 1797 acres for $13,000
#3. He gives land and 16 slaves for love and affection to his daughter Lucy Rives Brown. She was married to Alexander Brown.
#4. Alexander Brown was the son of Laurence Brown and Sarah Cabell Calloway. Alexander was born Sept. 3, 1843. His mother died July 25, 1849. He was a General in the Confederate Army. A young General in the War. ( I take it that Gen. Brown's grandmother was a Cabell or was his mother married more than once????) Anyway he wrote and finished in May 23, 1895, "Cabell and their Kin."

The Belmont Plantation was connected from the beginning before the house was built to the Cabells. My William J. Brown died there during theWar between The States. Gen. Alexander Brown was in charge of the Plantation/hospital during the war".

"Soldier's Joy is a historic house of the state of Virginia, being built for Col Samuel Jordan Cabell in the year of 1785, by his father, Col William Cabell. It was sold by Samuel Cabell, Jr to Daniel Higginbotham (brother of John) in the year of 1825, before being purchased again by the Cabell family in the year of 1894. In the year of 1924, the Cabell family sold this historic home to the family of the present owners (WOOD family).
EPITAPHS COPIED FROM THE
FAMILY CEMETERY AT "SOLDIER'S JOY," NELSON COUNTY, VIRGINIA
By Lenora Higginbotham Sweeny*

"Soldier's Joy," at Wingina, Nelson County, Virginia, was built in the late eighteenth century after the plans of James Roberts, architect, of Goochland County, Virginia, for Colonel William Cabell, of "Union Hill," and given as a wedding present to his eldest on, Colonel Samuel Jordan Cabell, a brave officer in the Revolution.

He married Sarah, daughter of Colonel John Syme, Jr., of Hanover County, Virginia, and niece of Patrick Henry. They went there to reside in 1785 and Colonel Cabell called his home "Soldier's Joy."

He was an original member of the Society of the Cincinnati in the State of Virginia. He died August 4, 1818, at "Soldier's Joy," and is buried there beside his wife, who died May 15, 1814. There is no monument erected to their memory.

Danville, VA - The Last Home of the Confederacy:
940 Grove Street. Grove Street Cemetery.Only a block from the Sutherlin Mansion, Grove Street Cemetery is Danville's first municipal burial ground. Essentially, it was a country cemetery when it was established south of town in the early 19th century. Its earliest surviving marked grave dates from 1833, and it is the resting place of many of the community's founders and earliest citizens. Grove Street holds the remains of a number of Confederate veterans, including Col. Joseph Robert Cabell and Benjamin Edward Cabell, sons of Gen. B.W.S. Cabell, a veteran of the War of 1812. Their plot is marked by a tall brownstone column. Another son, William Lewis Cabell, who settled in Texas after the War, distinguished himself as the only Danvillian to achieve the rank of General in the Confederacy. Also buried here is the infant daughter of Gen. and Mrs. John Hunt Morgan. Following his escape from Federal guards in Ohio, General Morgan - "The Thunderbolt of the Confederacy" spent time in Danville with Col. Robert Withers and his family.http://www.ci.danville.va.us/hist/histour4.htm
