Elijah Fletcher
Elijah's eldest son, Sidney (trained at Yale as well as in Richmond and Europe. He escorted his sisters on their European tour and briefly traveled to California with his brother Lucian, as well as practiced medicine for a time. Elijah had given Sidney the deed for Tusculum plantation in 1850, where he farmed and raised livestock until his death. Although Sidney never married officially, he had a long term relationship with a mulatto woman, and devised property to her children in 1870. He later asked a New York cousin to move to Virginia and help him and his widowed sister Indiana. John Jay Williams did so, and later learned that he had inherited the plantation, and kept it in the family for several more decades. In 2003, the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities acquired the property to prevent its demolition. Tusculum was listed on the National Register for Historic Places in 2004, but the house itself was dismantled in 2006 (archeological excavations having been conducted at various times) and plans to reassemble it on campus fell through, so it still awaits restoration. It also is the name of an institute at Sweet Briar College. Elijah Fletcher's youngest daughter, Elizabeth, married and build a plantation across from Sweet Briar, which she named Mt. San Angelo, but which was acquired by Indiana after her death as some nunsin Lynchburg refused the bequest, and later sold by Sweet Briar College during its first decade.
