Answer 1

From most any wikitree page select New Free Space Page under the Add drop down.
Select a name for your page such as Fearn Plantation
Add these catagories:

[[Category: Isle of Wight County, Virginia Colony]][[Category: Isle of Wight County, Virginia]]

Check this orphan one Place Study page for ideas
Isle of Wight County, Virginia

Headers might include:
=== History ===
=== Family Names === 
=== Cemeteries === 
=== Links === 
==== Wikitree Pages ====   

You can have your page converted to a One Place Study page later.  See: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:One_Place_Studies

Hi Darryl, we don't set up plantation pages as one place studies for US Black Heritage work since it involved studying the enslaved population and slavery in a particular way.

Hi Anne  -

I see the USBH project has reached out to you, so you are in good hands getting set up.

Just wanted to say I am excited to see how your records will help WT grow, and especially the USBH.  

WT can be a bit daunting at first, so please feel free to ask any questions you may have - everyone here is willing to help!
