RESIDENCE: From a book about Tidewater homes found in the Richmond's Family History Center on Monument Avenue. pgs 264-265. RESEARCHER: Ellen Elliott <eelliott@elliottadvertising.com>. Information sent to T.Mason on 16Sep2002. "Before building "Glennwood" Dr. Moore Fauntleroy's son, Dr. Samuel Griffin Fauntleroy with his wife and their four children, had lived at his father's home Farmer's Mount, as had his widowed sister and her children. On the death of his father in 1858 young Dr. Fauntleroy inherited one-sixth interest in Farmer's Mount and apparently certain securities as well as seven hundred acres of land. On these acres he built his house and called it Glenwood. Dr Fauntleroy may have wanted a compact house, for it is a simple, small frame building entirely different from Farmer's Mount, which literally spread out in all directions to accommodate the generations it sheltered. Glenwood followed the usual plan of the period: dining room in the basement, two rooms and center hall on the first floor, three bedrooms on the second. After the outside kitchen became unusable the basement dining room was used as the kitchen until an addition to the house by new owners provided a more convenient room.
Dr. Fauntleroy died in 1871 at the age of fifty-five, leaving his estate in a bankrupt condition because of Yankee raids and his investment in Confederate securities; and when his younger sister and former ward, Ella, wanted her share of her father's estate, Glenwood had to be transferred to her possession to satisfy her claims. Since she was married and living in Caroline, Glenwood was rented; and until his marriage Latane, the youngest child of Dr. Fauntleroy, remained to run the farm for the new tenants. At the time of the settlement he had kept his horse and his yoke of oxen, the latter probably purchased with the money he was paid for running the farm for his mother; the horse had been given him by Union soldiers when it was a young colt. One of the soldiers had indifferently said to Latane, then a boy of thirteen, who stood furiously watching the depredations of the enemy, "Here, boy, you can have this colt. He is no good to us." With his horse, his yoke of oxen and his knowledge of farming acquired in the hard school of experience after the war, he preferred staying and farming Glenwood to moving to Essex with his family.
After his marriage, Latane Fauntleroy lived at Old Hall briefly until Glenwood became vacant and he was able to rent it himself. According to his daughters, he loved every inch of it all his life, although in 1909 he purchased Farmington, since his cousin steadfastly refused to sell Glenwood. He died at Farmington in 1921, and Glenwood remained in the possession of Ella (Fauntleroy) Webb's daughter until 1937, when it was sold to W. F. Parker and a friend. Mr. Parker and his son are the present owners, but the place is rented. The Todd and Fauntleroy cemetery with its handsome tombstones is on Glenwood property.
