FOTHERINGAY Fotheringay was the home of George Hancock (1754-1820), a colonel in the Virginia Line during the Revolutionary War and aide-de-camp to Count Casimir Pulaski. He later served in both the Virginia House of Delegates and in the Congress, and was the father-in-law of explorer William Clark. Fotheringay, an elegant expression of the Federal style, was built around 1796 with a steep mountain as a dramatic backdrop. Fotheringay's interior woodwork, particularly its chimneypieces and doorways, features delivately carved motifs copied from the pattern books of English architect William Pain.
