content: From old label glued onto artifact, presumably done by collector Joseph G. Bruff: "Axe: From Vanderburg's farm: Alexandria Co [now Arlington County]: Virg: Feb: 19, 1872. presented by Mr. Cammeron [sic, this may actually be John Cameron, see A145938, collected from the same farm]." "Vanderburg's farm" may actually be Vandenburg's farm. See https://yorktowncivic.org/history/, retrieved 13 Sept 2021: "The impressive stone mansion at 5115 Little Falls Road (presently, the Knights of Columbus) is built on what is believed to be the site of an Indian village and burial ground. Numerous artifacts have been found in the vicinity. The original house was built in 1855 by Gilbert Vandenberg (also Vandenbergh) .... During the Civil War, the Vandenbergs named the homestead "Reserve Hill" because of the Union Army ReserveUnits stationed at nearby Minor's Hill (near current day Williamsburg and Powhatan).
