  	Laurel Grove overlooks the Totopotomoy Creek, west of present day highway US 301, northeast of Richmond, VA. "This old mansion was noted for the magnificent oaks around it, for the old well on the lawn, with its ever cool and refreshing water, overshadowed as it was by two magnificent weeping-willows, which kept off the rays of the sun and caused the old bucket, from the constant dampness which surrounded it, to become in truth 'the moss-covered bucket that hung by the well'. Through the avenues and approaches to the house, and all about it, there were hundreds of wild laurel trees, with their evergreen, glossy leaves and pure white flowers, constantly emitting delicious fragrance, and making the atmosphere which pervaded the cheerful rooms redolent with delicate perfume. From these, the old people had given to the homestead the appropriate name of 'Laurel Grove'."  -  From "The Two Parsons" by George Wythe Munford.
