Built by Fielding Lewis and Charles Dick, it was the first such factory in the colonies to support the revolutionary cause. It produced a range of firearms, from small arms for county militias to its state of the art at the time musket. This musket was modeled after the British Brown Bess, the standard infantry weapon of the day. Only a few survive. In 1783, two years after the death of Fielding Lewis, the factory closed. Today, there is a possibility that the area around the historical marker will be developed as a park in the city of Fredericksburg.

We went to the King and Queen Courthouse Tavern Museum and met local Warner descendant, Dr. Augustine Warner Lewis, who escorted us to the site and answered questions. The gravesite is near the Poropotank Creek in King and Queen County. The land had been patented in the 1640s. John Lewis settled there in 1653. Young John Lewis, II, was living there in 1676 at the time of Bacon’s Rebellion. The Lewis property King and Queen Courthouse suffered damage done by Bacon’s marauding troops.

  • Key Facts About Kenmore, Ferry Farm, and the Washington and Lewis Families
    Key Facts about Kenmore, Ferry Farm, and the Washington and Lewis families. The George Washington Foundation The Foundation owns and operates Ferry Farm and Historic Kenmore. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Foundation (then known as the Kenmore Association) was formed in 1922 in order to purchase Kenmore. The Foundation purchased Ferry Farm in 1996. Historic Kenmore Kenmore was built by Fielding Lewis and his wife, Betty Washington Lewis (George Washington’s sister). Fielding Lewis was a wealthy merchant, planter, and prominent member of the gentry in Fredericksburg. Construction of Kenmore started in 1769 and the family moved into their new home in the fall of 1775. Fielding Lewis' Fredericksburg plantation was once 1,270 acres in size. Today, the house sits on just one city block (approximately 3 acres). Kenmore is noted for its eighteenth-century, decorative plasterwork ceilings, created by a craftsman identified only as "The Stucco Man." In Fielding Lewis' time, the major crops on the plantation were corn and wheat. Fielding was not a major tobacco producer. When Fielding died in 1781, the property was willed to Fielding's first-born son, John. Betty remained on the plantation for another 14 years. The name "Kenmore" was first used by Samuel Gordon, who purchased the house and 200 acres in 1819. Kenmore was directly in the line of fire between opposing forces in the Battle of Fredericksburg in 1862 during the Civil War and took at least seven cannonball hits. Kenmore was used as a field hospital for approximately three weeks during the Civil War Battle of the Wilderness in 1864.

  • GEORGE WASHINGTON George Washington Was Born at His Father's
    GEORGE WASHINGTON George Washington was born at his father's plantation on Pope's Creek in Westmoreland County, Virginia, on February 22, 1732. His father, Augustine Washington, was a leading planter in the area and also served as a justice of the county court. Augustine's first wife, Janet Butler, died in 1729, leaving him with two sons, Lawrence and Augustine, Jr., and a daughter, Jane. The elder Augustine then married George's mother, Mary Ball, in 1731. George was the eldest of Augustine Washington's and Mary Ball's six children. In 1735, when George was three, Augustine moved the family up the Potomac River to another Washington home, Little Hunting Creek Plantation (later renamed Mount Vernon). In Stafford County, Augustine owned 1,600 acres on which there was a rich deposit of high-quality iron ore. The British-owned Principio Company extracted the ore from the Washington property and smelt it in a cold-blast charcoal furnace. (located behind today’s Colonial Forge High School). Iron ingots were shipped to England, with Augustine receiving money upon their delivery overseas. The furnace was a thriving enterprise from 1726 until 1735 when John England, the manager of the property, died. Problems arose from inadequate management. So in 1738, Augustine, wanting to be closer to the forge, moved his family to a farm on the Rappahannock River, now called Ferry Farm. George lived there from the time his was six until he was twenty years old. It was here that he learned the values and developed the character that would influence the rest of his life.
