some of the existing stone-paved streets in Alexandria are supposed to have
been laid by Hessians

Is there an inventory somewhere of home, and other structures in Virginia
which were built by Hessian Prisoners during the Revolutionary War?  I am
aware of the Mill at Millwood Virginia (which is really unique in that the
water courses through the interior of the mill rather than impinging on a
whilee outside), and 'Saratoga', Daniel Morgan's home in what is now Clarke
County.  But I have heard of a home (Gray Gables?) west of Staunton which
reportedly was built by them.
