This is on the Virginia Tech. campus.
The cemetery is called Preston and is surrounded by a brick wall.
The plantation Smithfield is in eyes view and now the home is a museum.
I had the pleasure to visit Augusta, Botetourt, Montgomery, Smyth, Washington and Wythe counties some years back, tracing my family lines that lived in that beautiful part of the country.
My family was very much part in the settlement of those areas.
They are Col. James Patton, The Preston's, Thompson's and many more.
