Additional commentary.
1. 2nd HHistorical Marker on "Hewick" Plantation
This is the first "Hewick" Highway Historic Marker. The second I had erected on "Hewick" when I owned it and made my home in Middlesex Co., VA. I financed the Sign from the money I raised with my "Robinson" family cookbook in the 1990's. Our Virginia Congressman, Herb Bateman, came to the dedication of the second sign.
