While working at VCU, I had the pleasure of helping excavate Jordan's
Journey, which is on Jordans Point.  I believe that this and "Beggars
Bush" may be the same place.  Samuel Jordan lived here until his death in
1623 or 25, my memory fails me.  After that William Ferrar (I believe it
was William, again it's been a long time), married Cicely and they lived
there until the mid 1630's, when they removed to another of Ferrar's
plantations. Beggar's Bush is from a Shakespeare play I believe.  By the
way, the plantation site was really quite a large palisaded enclosure.
Lovely site!
