Isn't a Jefferson fence the official name for the serpentine brick walls that started at UVa and now are found all over the place? -----Original Message----- From: Jim Watkinson [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, 24 May 2001 9:58 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Fence--just wondering List members: I ran across a memorandum of agreement for the sale of some land in Rockbridge County, ca 1852. The final sentence of the agreement asserted the the buyer would "agrees to put up a good and lawful Jefferson fence." Any ideas as to what a "Jefferson fence" looked/looks like.
