Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Janean, Page Henley of Lancaster County is writing an article on John Stretchley for the next issue of the Northern Neck of Virginia Historical Society. He was born near London, baptized 8 Mar 1648/9. He seems to have lived with the William Ball family for most of time, until he married Alice Chinn, widow of John-1 Chinn. He had no children.
Charlene, Though John Stretchley had no children of his own, he must have been very well regarded. 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.
