Description	:	Colonel William Dabney of Aldingham, so called probably to distinguish him from others of the same name, was the second son of Elizabeth and George Dabney I. He married Anne Barret circa 1735 and had their first residence at "The Grove" near Rockville, Hanover County, where likely all eight of their children were born. The land bequeathed by his father George in his will of 1729 is the exact location of "Aldingham", which William built about 1760, according to Hanover County records.

Read More	Colonel William Dabney of Aldingham, so called probably to distinguish him from others of the same name, was the second son of Elizabeth and George Dabney I. He married Anne Barret circa 1735 and had their first residence at "The Grove" near Rockville, Hanover County, where likely all eight of their children were born. The land bequeathed by his father George in his will of 1729 is the exact location of "Aldingham", which William built about 1760, according to Hanover County records. The house is on a hill overlooking the South Anna River and the land runs down to the river with the house set back from the road with a row of boxwood trees near the home. It is a wood structure two stories high, a large parallelogram with two large chimneys at each end. An important tobacco plantation in its day, the home saw much entertaining and years of family gatherings. Aldingham and some out buildings on the property remarkably survived the ravages of the Civil War, which raged all around the vicinity. Colonel William Dabney, according to his grandson the Rev. John Blair Dabney, was by all traditions and records "a striking exemplification of a Virginia gentleman of the time. He had the love of his kindred, the esteem and confidence of his neighbors and acquaintances". He served the Colony as a Commissioner, his County as Justice High Sheriff and Colonel of the Militia, and was vestryman and warden of St. Martin's Parish. William is believed to be buried alongside Anne in a corner of the garden, although there are no stones marking the graves today. A special note of eternal love, thanks and admiration to my grandmother, Mildred Trussell Frye (1902-1995), for introducing me to the beloved Dabney family home that William built, Aldingham, and the love of genealogy.
