Can anyone help with these two queries on James Monroe.
1. In Ammon's biography of Monroe, he refers to his Albemarle home as
"Highlands." The present owners (William & Mary) use the name "Ash Lawn
Highland." The Ash Lawn is from a subsequent owner, but what happened to the
"s" on Highlands. Was Ammon Wrong?
2. Monroe's Loudoun County home was "Oak Hill," which was sold when Monroe
moved to New York to help pay his debts. What was the history of ownership
after Monroe? Today, it is in private hands, not open to the public, but what
is the exact location?
