However, he proved not as strong a candidate as his father, hence this man's political entry. Although Amherst County voters failed to re-elect William H.

Over time they bought and sold land and enslaved people to operate those plantations. However, some records are lost, and similar names of his cousins complicate differentiation. In the early 1800s, Cabell's main plantation was in <a href="/wiki/Buckingham_County,_Virginia" title="Buckingham County, Virginia">Buckingham County</a> that he bought from his uncle Joseph Cabell (who had called it "Repton"). He renamed "Montevideo" and lived with his family and widowed mother until her death. He sold the plantation in the late 1820s and moved his family to Richmond. Thus, the 1820 federal census confirms he lived in <a href="/wiki/New_Canton,_Virginia" title="New Canton, Virginia">New Canton</a>, a township in Buckingham County, and owned 48 enslaved males (19 of them boys) and 50 enslaved females (including 19 girls), most of whom probably worked in the tobacco fields, or possibly cultivated wheat and corn and other market crops.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, federal records did not individually identify enslaved people until 1850, the last census in this man's life. Thus, in 1840, Judge Cabell's Richmond household included four enslaved boys younger than sixteen years old, two enslaved men between 16 and 24 years old, three enslaved women between 25 and 35 years old, and one woman in the 36 to 55-year-old category.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He presumably had provided dowries for daughters mentioned in another section and start-up capital for sons.

Cabell and Henry Cabell and his wife), also included 60, 50, and 31-year-old women, mulatto girls aged 7 and 8, and mulatto boys aged 15 and 11, probably all working as domestic servants. A similar number of enslaved people were owned by his eldest son, Dr. Robert G.

Two years later, legislators selected him for a vacant <a href="/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_Virginia" title="Supreme Court of Virginia">Supreme Court of Appeals</a> seat. He began serving on that court on March 21, 1811 and served continuously for more than four decades. In "Stevenson v. Singleton, 1 Leigh 72 (1829), he refused to allow an enslaved person to buy his freedom. During the court's reorganization in 1831, Cabell was again selected to the new court, where he became president on January 18, 1842. He remained in this position until 1850, but during the last year before his resignation had several absences due to ill health. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Personal_life">Personal life</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=William_H._Cabell&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Personal life"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Shockoe_Hill_Cemetery_-_Cabell_grave.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b8/Shockoe_Hill_Cemetery_-_Cabell_grave.jpg/220px-Shockoe_Hill_Cemetery_-_Cabell_grave.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b8/Shockoe_Hill_Cemetery_-_Cabell_grave.jpg/330px-Shockoe_Hill_Cemetery_-_Cabell_grave.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b8/Shockoe_Hill_Cemetery_-_Cabell_grave.jpg/440px-Shockoe_Hill_Cemetery_-_Cabell_grave.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3264" data-file-height="2448" /></a><figcaption>Cabell's grave at Shockoe Hill Cemetery</figcaption></figure> <p>Cabell built the <a href="/wiki/Midway_Mill" title="Midway Mill">Midway Mill</a> in 1787, which later was listed on the National Register of Historic Places but demolished in 1998.<sup id="cite_ref-vaNRHPnom_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-vaNRHPnom-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-nris_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nris-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1795, back in Amherst County, William Cabell married Elizabeth Cabell (1774–1801), but they had no children who survived.
