See if you can find some sources on James Steptoe (Jimmy Steptoe). He was a prominent figure in Bedford County. Also check the New London Chronology site. dddonald (talk) 13:56, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article Revamping and Edits

For the past month, I have researched the Federal Hill location in Forest, Virginia. On the page, I have added an architectural analysis and historical background. I also rewrote the lead to reflect the new content. Specifically, I explored the historical importance of the life of James Steptoe and his friendship with Thomas Jefferson.

At the end of the article, I added another section on the Calloway-Steptoe Cemetery. This section could profit from additional work. Additionally, photo images were incredibly difficult to locate, as the property still remains in private ownership. These two sections require additional improvement, in order to make the article more professional. Maswope (talk) 21:35, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
