The W.P.A., an agency of the government, was recording and cataloging the historically significant homes, churches and buildings in Stafford Co., Va. in the 1930's. "Pleasant Hill", also known as "Mount Pleasant", was one of those listed. The report is on pg. 274. SUBJECT: Mount Pleasant LOCATION: 9 miles northwest of Falmouth, Va.; thence .1 mile north of Route #612. DATE: About 1811 OWNERS: John H. Bradshaw was the first owner. Charles Bradshaw owned it for a number of years. Mr. C. E. Ramsey, present owner. (John H. Bradshaw could not have built this home as he was born in the same year the house was supposed to be built. It probably was built by Zachariah Bradshaw, his father. A.W. B. M.) DESCRIPTION: This house was probably given the name "Mount Pleasant" because of it's location. The main part of the original house is today used as a kitchen. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: When the northern soldiers came down the old Warrenton Road, which is Route #612 today, they camped on this farm and had to get out in the fields as the mud was so deep in places. The "Mud March", or the road which they came over, is directly in front of this house. SOURCES OF INFORMATION: Informants: Mrs. Charles Ramsey, Va., Mrs. R. L. Jones
