In Courtland, the county seat of Southampton County, Virginia, the Rebecca Vaughan House stands at a new site after being moved from its original location five miles away at the end of a long lane off Barrow Road. It is the only remaining structure where enslavers died during the 1831 Southampton Insurrection. Around noon on August 22, 1831, Nat Turner and his men reached the house. Rebecca Vaughan heard riders approaching and thought her son George was returning with fox hunters, but the insurrectionists had already killed him. As they rode up to the house, they killed her other son, Arthur, and the overseer near the still. Rebecca was inside with her eighteen-year-old niece, Anne Eliza Vaughan, who was visiting to plan her wedding. When Anne Eliza came downstairs after hearing voices outside, she was killed immediately and her body was thrown outside. Rebecca asked to go upstairs to pray before meeting her Maker, and the insurrectionists agreed, but after she prayed too long, they killed her while she was still on her knees. Nat Turner then urged his followers to march toward Jerusalem, today's Courtland. In a September 14, 1831, letter to Governor John Floyd, William Parker gave an enslaver's description of Nat Turner as between thirty and thirty-five years old, five feet six or eight inches tall, weighing between one hundred fifty and one hundred sixty, with a rather bright complexion but not a mulatto, broad shoulders, a large flat nose, large eyes, broad flat feet, a rather knock-kneed walk that was brisk and active, very thin hair on the top of his head, no beard except on the upper lip and tip of the chin, a scar on one temple from a mule's kick, another on the back of his neck from a bite, and a large knot on a bone of his right arm near the wrist from a blow.
