He more than doubled his property to more than 1,000 acres.[2][3] The area became known as Everettsville.[2]
In the mid-19th century, it was a point along the stagecoach route between Richmond and Staunton.[4] Nicholas Trist's wife and children briefly took up residence here in early 1829 as they awaited word to follow Trist to Washington.[5]
