I grew up on and around Montpelier in Orange VA that wasJames Madison’s home and later purchased by William DuPont and after his death it was taken over by his daughter Marion DuPont Scott , her second husband was Randolph Scott . Anyway in the biography of Marion DuPont Scott there was a section in the book about properties her father had and that she had . Seems they had a plantation somewhere in Georgia the plantation was located on the Altamaha River and they called it Altama supposedly it was 9,000 acres . She also owned the track and steeplechase course in Camden SC along with a training facility and a manor house in the town of Camden .
