arly Fauquier Houses, Fauquier County, Virginia, 276,277:
"Yew Hill - U. S. Route 17, near Delaplane, Virginia." Yew Hill is an early pioneer house of characteristic type, clapboard with dormer windows, Jacobean sloping gables, huge chimneys, and full length porch, It is located on the 320acre grant secured in 1742 by Thomas Ashby, pioneer, who was then living on the Shenandoah River above Burwell's Island. His son, Robert, was the first of the family to make Yew Hill his home in 1760. While engaged in surveying his own tract of land lying near Ashby's Gap, George Washingron made his headquarters at Yew Hill from March 9 to March 18, 1769.
Title was held by the Ashby family until 1807 when it passed to Edward Shacklett whose daughter held possession until 1880 when it reverted to relatives and descendants of the original owner. In 1935 it was purchased from John T. Ashby, Jr. R.C. Iden who has recently sold this property to the J.B. McCartys. The dwelling is now undergoing restoration and repairs, no change structurally only superficial alterations need to add the comforts of today to the atmosphere of bygone yesterdays. With this uplift, Yew Hillshould stand sturdily for another two hundred years as a landmark of the wilderness outpost of civilization in the highlands of Fauquier."
