Posted on: Amelia County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amelia/575 Surname: ------------------------- Was looking over the Amelia site and saw your post. There were many plantations in Amelia during the 1800s, especially if you define a plantation as any farm with slaves living and working on it. Egglestetton, Dykeland, Locust Drive, Winnerham, Glenmore are some of the biggest that come to mind.
