Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have got the book here "A History of Shenandoah County, Virginia, by John W. Wayland, and although I have been through the Valley myself, I am not to familiar with todays County boundaries. For instance, does Winchester still belong to the present day Shenandoah County? The book itself reports lots of the Winchester people, and while searching for a name (Philipp Klipstein) I came across another name on page 629 - Dr. Frederick Decies, Hessian surgeon. His daughter Ann married a Henry Prince, son of Phillip Printz (probably an old settler)
