The back yard of a current home in Oak Hall, Virginia.  My 13th-great grandfather moved to this area in 1648, he started out with 5 acres of land, and owned more than 700 acres when he died.  He originally came to the colonies as a bond servant, and worked on a tobacco plantation outside of St. Mary's City, Maryland for 6 years to procure his freedom.
