According to the book "Our French Ancestors and How They Came to Virginia" by Edwin R. Lancaster (1917), "Clover Forest" was the home of John Lancaster (1763-1826) and his wife Drusilla LeGrand (1769-1825). The property passed to their son John Alexander Lancaster (1795-1861) who married Adelaide Maria Derieux, daughter of Justin Pierre Plumard, Comte de Rieux.

Today the estate is known as "Lackland Well Farm" and is recognized on Virginia's list of Century Farm properties. The original farmhouse, built circa 1787, is still standing. Later owners, the Oertel family, erected a beautiful plaque memorializing some of those who are known to be buried on the property.
