. Historic Virginia homes and churches . y Rivers, several Avell-knownhomesteads are to be found. Perhaps the oldest of theseis Chelsea, the venerable home of the ]Moores, on the INIat-tapony. It is a spacious brick house bearing many evidencesof antiquity and was probably named after Chelsea in Eng-land, the home of Sir Thomas Moore, from whom theVirginia Moores claim descent. Augustine Moore, the first of this family, settled hereabout the year 1700, and his tomb may still be seen atChelsea.

This estate was originally owned byCaptain William Dandridge, of the British Xavy, who 268 MIUIIXIA HOMES AND CHURCHES was also a nieinber of the Virginia Council. The mansion, a massive brick structure, has been several times burntout, but the walls are so strong that the fires have notaffected the external appearance, though they greatlyaltered the arrangement of the rooms. From the Dandridges, Elsing Green passed to CarterBraxton, signer of the Declaration of Independence, whorel)uilt the house in 17.58. Over the west door may still beseen the initials C.
