Ampthill (Chesterfield County, Virginia)
Ampthill Plantation was located in the Virginia Colony in Chesterfield County on the south bank of the James River about four miles south of the head of navigation at modern-day Richmond, Virginia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.markerhistory.com/ampthill-estate-marker-s-3/ )〕 Built by Henry Cary, Jr. about 1730, it was just upstream of Falling Creek. It was later owned by Colonel Archibald Cary, who maintained a flour mill complex and iron forge at the nearby town of Warwick. Mary Randolph was born there in 1762. 〔 http://www.chesterfield.gov/content.aspx?id=2978 "Born in 1762 at Ampthill, her grandfather's Chesterfield County plantation, now the site of the Dupont Company" 〕
== House moved, property becomes industrial site ==
In 1929, Ampthill House, the manor house of Ampthill Plantation, was dismantled, moved to a site on Cary Street Road in the West End of Richmond, and reassembled where it sits today. Although it is not open-to-the-public, Ampthill House is a noteworthy local landmark, and is marked by a Virginia Historical Marker.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.markerhistory.com/ampthill-marker-sa-30/ )〕
The former plantation property on the James River near Falling Creek is occupied by the Spruance Plant and related industrial complex of the DuPont Company.
