Heaton Family Home
The following is a message received from Carrie Jackson, who is a Heaton descendant.
"My family took a vacation to Waterford Va. In Loudoun County this summer. This area is preserved as a national heritage site. This is the front line of our families abolitionist past. this was the only county in Virginia not to succeed from the union. The rest of Virginia did and greatly pressured the Quaker's here. They were detained, arrested, and beaten. They were taken prisoner and despite this, the county remained strong and worked with the German community of Fredericksburg nearby to remain true to their beliefs. (working together with these Germans is how many Quakers and Germans married). I took many photos of the Paxon family homes which still remain here preserved, I will have to find them and send some to you. The only Union regiment in Virginia came from here and they worked as spy's to undermine the Confederacy."
