One book said: "Verre Mills was built on what today would be the west side of Verree Road in between Susquehanna and Bloomfield Roads. It was inhabited by the Verree family during the 17th through the 19th centuries. The Verree family is of French desent. Their original name was Verrier." But I don't think they lived there in the 17th century - they were in Burlington! There is a "Verreeville Historical Society" which put out a little pamphlet about the family and the area and Leon Sharlip, who wrote it, is still living on Verree Road in his retirement community. Thanks for thinking of me! Jane
