The VA Department of Historical Resources (VDHR) has copies of all the
nomination forms for Virginia -- a property must be on the VA Landmarks List
to be considered for the NRHP.  Their website has a few nomination forms
on-line, but I couldn't find one for Wheatland Manor.  You can try calling
them -- I think Botetourt falls under the Roanoke Office (540) 857-7585 or
contacting them through their website: http://www.dhr.state.va.us/

>From the National Parks website you can find greater details on a property
by Seaching with Database Details.  I did this for Wheatland Manor --- under
"Other Names" for the property they only have listed "VDHR 11-38," which is
a VA landmarks number -- since they don't list the other names you
mentioned, I doubt it is the same, but who knows.  It went on the National
Register in 1992.

You might also try contacting the local historical society (if there is
one); they might have a copy of the form.  I know the Maryland Historical
Society has copies of early nominations on microfiche -- I don't know if VA
has the same thing, but you could check.
