Aaron Thornley, White Plains' first owner, served as Surveyor of King George County and Inspector at Gibson’s Warehouse, later Port Conway, making him a player in the early colonial-era settlement of the county. The property is also significant for the well-documented work enslaved persons of African descent executed here from the 1780s until the early 1860s.
