 John,

I have looked for New Kent Mountain as well. Capitaine du Chesnoy's map of
LaFayette's movements shows him near Cumberland Landing (north of New Kent
Court House) on August 11th and 30th. His letters indicate that he was at
"New Kent Mountain" on August 11th, as you know. I have looked at modern
USGS Topo maps as well as Civil War maps for any indication of a feature
with that name, but have had no luck. The Virginia Department of Historic
Resources Data Sharing System (DSS) does not contain any identified 18th
century military camps in New Kent County.
