Yes, I believe the site was a former home of Eppes and Mary (I believe,
sister of Sally)is buried there in a well maintained burial site. 

Randolph Jefferson, brother of Thomas, owned the Snowden plantation in
Buckingham Co. just across the James River from Scottsville.

Subject: Re: [VA-ROOTS] Thomas Jefferson et alia

Here is some interesting reading about one of Sally Hemming's close 
relatives who was sent to a Buckingham Co., VA.  By the way, I
understand 
that Thomas Jefferson obtained the idea for the brick serpentine wall at
the 
University of VA from a home in Buckingham Co., VA (and it is believed
that 
Thomas Jefferson designed the courthouse in Buckingham).
