I'm grateful for the replies to my query. The Nimmo family history details
are interesting for the connections with other families who lost slaves in
the 1812 War, and the descriptive information on the Pleasure House
certainly expands my story as I had hoped, especially an article sent by
Eric Johnson. References to maps reminded me that I had some copies of older
Virginia maps, and on the 1807map I have, Pleasure House is clearly marked.
I now have more leads, and I'll report back if I find more useful
information.

Incidentally, Lynhaven is twice spelled thus, as against Lynnhaven that I
have seen  elsewhere. Are (or were) both spellings current?
