Governor Spotswood died at Annapolis, on his way to command the army against Carthagena, and was buried at Temple Farm, one of his old country-seats near Yorktown, so named from a house in the garden erected by Governor Spotswood as a cemetery. Dr. Shield, who bought the farm in 1834, says, the walls of the temple were then only several feet high within them I found heaps of broken tombstones, and on putting the fragments together, I found the name of Governor Spotswood.
