Watson sold the entire estate in 1797 to Richard Marshall Scott, son of John Scott (1732-1792) and Mary Marshall Scott (1735-1795). John Scott, an emigrant from Glasgow, Scotland, arrived in the colony of Maryland  around 1753 with a cargo to begin a career as a merchant. After some financial set-backs, John Scott became a farmer. John Scott and Mary Marshall Scott had three children born to them, David Wilson Scott (1766-1827), Richard Marshall Scott (1769-1833), and Anna Scott (1772-1821). In 1780, the Scott family moved from Maryland, settling first in Fairfax County, Virginia, and then at Farmington, in former Loudoun County, in 1791. ","Richard Marshall Scott, Sr. became a successful merchant and banker in Alexandria, Virginia, founding the Farmer's Bank of Alexandria, and served in the Virginia General Assembly in 1811-1812. He was active in gardening and horticulture and had a large private library.\nRichard Marshall Scott married three times. His first marriage was to Mary Love (1768-1812). He remained a widower until 1828, when he married his cousin, Eleanor Douglas Marshall (1807-1830). She bore his first son, Richard Marshall Scott, Jr. (1829-1856), five months before her death in 1830. His third marriage was to Lucinda Fitzhugh in 1832, who bore him a second son, Jonathan Mordecai Scott (1833-1924), in the same year as his death. ","William H. Foote became guardian in 1834 for the young Richard Marshall Scott, Jr. who attended various schools for boys and read law in Alexandria, Virginia with Francis L. Smith. Scott returned to Bush Hill Plantation at about age sixteen and began to keep a diary on February 18, 1846. On September 15, 1846, at age seventeen, he married Virginia Gunnell (1826-1913) of Washington. Their children were Frank Scott (1849-1893), Eleanor Marshall Scott Johnston (1847-1905), Richard M. Scott (1851-1915) and Anna Constance Scott (1853-1882). ","The 1850 Slave Schedule of Fairfax County lists Richard M. Scott with twenty enslaved persons. Fairfax County's 1859 Personal Property Assessment for Virginia Scott lists taxation for fourteen enslaved people. After the death of her husband in 1856, Virginia Gunnell Scott (1826-1913) managed the Bush Hill Plantation.  During the Civil War, Bush Hill functioned as headquarters for Union officers, but the Scott family remained in the house. \nBush Hill remained in possession of Virginia Gunnell Scott and her family until her death in 1913, when it passed to a cousin, Leonard Coleman Gunnell (1870-1941), and then to his son, Bruce Covington Gunnell (1907-1996 ), a Fairfax engineer. Beginning in 1942, the house was leased to the U.S. government and then to various day schools. Much of the property was sold to developers, with the historic building itself being destroyed by arson in 1977.","Information for this note came from materials in the collection and \"Phase IA Documentary Study of 10.67 Acres at 4840 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia\" by William M.

Other materials include printed articles about the Bush Hill plantation,a copy of a book, \"The Battles of Aldie, Middleburg and Upperville,\" and genealogical charts, tables and notes.","Richard Marshall Scott, Jr. began keeping this diary when he moved back to the Bush Hill plantation from Alexandria, where he had been reading law with Francis L. Smith since October of 1845. On the first page, he records the names of all of his slaves living at Bush Hill plantation. He writes about work done on the plantation; the weather, including a heavy snow; social visits; his joy at having the Bush Hill plantation as his property at last; an injury to his slave, Aaron, while cutting timber; the construction of a new barn; church attendance; his first mention of his future wife, Virginia Gunnell (March 15, 1846); the illness, death and burial of his housekeeper, Isabella, who was treated by Dr Fairfax and Dr. Richard (April 7-21, 1846); his runaway slave, George, eventually sold to Richard Windsor (April 22-31, 1846); his friendship with Dr. Gunnell and his sister, Virginia; his suffering with mumps; attendance at events, such as the Great National Fair in Washington (May 21, 1846), various sessions of Congress, the anniversaries of national events, and his viewing of paintings in the Rotunda at the Capitol; mention of the Mexican War and General Taylor (June 8, 1846); the sale of slave woman, Catherine, for \"improper conduct\" to Joseph Bruin (August 10-11, 1846); national and state elections; his marriage to Virginia Gunnell (September 15, 1846); the birth of his daughter, Eleanor Marshall Scott (August 7, 1847); and the hiring out of some of his slaves at Samuel Catts on the first of January each year, beginning in 1847. This diary account continues in volumes marked \"Notebook\" in Box 4.","The originals of these excerpts are labeled \"Diary\" and \"Memoranda Books\"  on the covers of the volumes they were taken from and in the finding aid.","This private journal kept by Francis M. Gunnell, M.D., U.S. Navy, whose appointment was dated March 23, 1849, describes a cruise in the sloop of war \"U.S.S. Falmouth.\" The crew began sailing for the Pacific on May 16, 1849, where the \"Falmouth\" was charged with protecting the new American settlements on the west coast. The ship also voyaged to various Pacific islands before returning to Norfolk on January 29, 1852. This account of the cruise occupies pages 1-72 of the volume. The second portion of the journal, pages 74-111, describe Gunnell's cruise aboard the U.S.S. Independence and appears to be written totally in French.","According to Wikipedia, the Independence \"was recommissioned in September 1854 and departed New York on 10 October to serve as flagship of the Pacific Squadron under Commodore William Mervine. She arrived Valparaíso, Chile, on 2 February 1855. Her cruising grounds ranged northward to San Francisco and west to Hawaii.
