A mile and a half southwest stood Laneville, built by Richard Corbin Receiver General (Treasurer) about 1760 on the site of an earlier house. There Patrick Henry sent, May 1775, to obtain money in payment for the Colony’s powder seized by Lord Dunmore. Laneville was one of the largest and finest houses in Virginia.
