Event:   
     Type:   resided
     Date:   1821
     Place:   ,Amherst Co, Virginia
     Note:   He received 583 acres on Hunting Creek from his father's estate but
probably never lived there. He built a large brick house still
standing (1962) at Amherst Co. Court House, called "Edge Hill".
Murals were painted on the walls and so much money was spent that it
was called "Arthur's Folly". It was bought eventually by Jesse
Higgenbotham of Richmond, who left it on his death as a Masonic
school, "Higgenbotham's Academy". Mayo Davies (Arthur's younger
brother) was the principal of the Academy part of the time. In 1962
it was owned by Beverly Pace's husband, Mr. Kubik.
