"Richard Ambler determined in the latter part of his life to invest in land some of his spare capital, for the benefit of his descendants. He set out from York, with the intention of penetrating as far into the savage wilderness of Western Virginia, as he might find was practicable. He stopped upon James River, about eight miles above what is now the City of Richmond, where he was compelled to sleep in a miserable log hovel, upon a spinning wheel. Here he bought a large tract of land, which has since been known by the name of Westham, which descended regularly to my father (Col. John Ambler), who is now in possession of it (1824). A portion of this land, known as "Northam," was given to my mother by Col. John Ambler. (James D. Moncure.)."
