Not sure what "old place" refers to. Cedar Hill?

Ben W. Brumfield

I would love to come up with a history of Graves's land ownership/management and the terms he uses for different properties at different times. The more I read, the more uncertain I am even that the property on Camp Branch which he sold to Henry Anderson Brumfield was the one he referred to as "Aspen Grove".
