Elizabeth Chinn d/o Rawleigh and Fanny Tarpley Chinn named one of there sons...... John Stretchley Wilson...... his father was also John so not sure if the middle name was after John Stretchley or what. They tended to follow a very distinct naming pattern.... if so.. this particular child should have been named after his father. John Wilson but there's also a Rawleigh Stretchley Chinn another grandson of Rawleigh and Fanny Tarpley Chinn. Very popular name.

As you note, the name is used in the Ball family and also, I believe, the Chinn family, and perhaps others. We'll have to stay tuned for Page Henley's article on him in the next issue of the Northern Neck of Virginia Historical Society Magazine. It promises to be most excellent. Page's grandmother was Elizabeth Combs Pierce, a founding member of both the MBW and the NNVHS. He has held life-time membership since being a young boy in 1951. He will be serving as the next President of the NNVHS. Annual meeting is in October. I'll send more on that later.

You will also find the use of Stretchley name in the Ball family. Guess he was a popular guy, at least within those two families. But as I wrote earlier, John Stretchley had no children.
