That plantation, KINGSMILL PLANTATION, owned by Colonel Lewis Burwell II was the hub of a successful James River community with its grand mansion- house, outbuildings and slave quarters, along with an active ferry landing and warehouse. During the 18th century the landing was a major port of entry for Williamsburg, and included an ordinary that provided travelers with entertainment, accommodations, and supplies. The 1736 House of Burgesses mentioned Burwell, the house, and gardens in its proceedings. Less than a mile away was the PETTUS PLANTATION. Colonel Pettus built his house in the 1640s. The plantation, known as Littletown, was a profitable tobacco producing enterprise. The manor house featured six rooms, several outbuildings, and a good well.
