_________________________________________________________

In October 1669 William Humphreys purchased 150 acres in Henrico County, Virginia, from Richard Cocke, Sr. This property, known as Malvern Hill, became the homeplace of William Humphreys. (Henrico Co., Va., Records, 1669, pp. 45-46)

This estate, Malvern Hill, derives its name from Malvern Hills, in England . . . It has been the fate of this old plantation to be often the scene of war. Lafayette camped there during the Revolution; in the War of 1812 Virginia Militia was there; and as the field of battle between Generals Lee and McClelland, in the War between the States, Malvern Hill will always have a place in history. (Historic Virginia Homes and Churches, Robert A. Lancaster, Jr., 1915, pp. 104, 105)
