Planter?
editWhat is a planter? I can tell it refers to a job title, but I'm not sure what role the job is. Is it a synonym for farmer?
Does any part of the article describe his work as a planter? Power~enwiki (talk) 00:48, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
- I found out the answer; planter means "plantation owner". Power~enwiki (talk) 04:01, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
more work needed
editI began revising this article but do not know when I can finish, since the Arlington local history collection remains closed due to Covid. Most of the Gunston Hall links are dead, and the article doesn't mention his slaveholdings.Jweaver28 (talk) 23:20, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
