The Return of Panecillo (aka Panicello): Part 2

This is the second set of scans from my files on Panecillo (aka Panicello), the buildings and estate of Judge Peter Johnston, Jr., his family and slave laborers situated on the outskirts of Abingdon, Virginia, from 1811/1812 to the early 1830s. Jane Wood Johnston (1811-1892) and John Warfield Johnston (1818-1889) were infants here; Joseph Eggleston Johnston (1807-1891) was raised here from age four until he departed for West Point in 1825. 
Layout of the main structures as of 1976, before their dismantling for shipment to and reassembly in North Carolina.

There's probably an original copy of this filed at the Abingdon Historical Society and possibly another with the Library of Congress.  
"REMEMBRANCES OF PANICELLO [PANECILLO]." There's probably an original copy of this filed at the Abingdon Historical Society. Undated, but post-1976. 



 Additional pages will be scanned and posted in the near future. I visited Abingdon in the 1990s, and found the Johnston family cemetery.

  1. p.s. Not Abingdon Historical Society, but rather the Washington County Historical Society of Virginia.
