JUNE, Below says WARD McCONCHIE was son of ROBERT McCONCHIE. Was ROBERT McCONCHIE from your line of WILLIAM A. McCONCHIE? My line of ROBERT KING McCONCHIE only had BENJAMIN and GEORGE W. McCONCHIE. But there was also an ALEXANDER McCONCHIE who was brother to your WILLIAM A.McCONCHIE. I think both WILLIAM A.McCONCHIE and ALEXANDER McCONCHIE had sons ROBERT? Amanda ==================== p. 7 "The old Jones building in which ORLANDO JONES kept store is still standing on the old home place premises in the same spot. After the death of ORLANDO, it seems that MALORY SMITH who married DELIA EDWARDS ran a store there followed by a man named HIGGINS. HIGGINS was followed by WARD McCONCHIE, son of ROBERT McCONCHIE. They moved up form near the Rappahannock River and made living quarters above the store until they moved across the field witin the house knwosn as the BILL TULLOSS place. The house was built fo rhim by BROADUS JONES. The house had been occupied by JAMES HOLMES called JUDD, who was the son of JAMES and MANDY HOLMES. JAMES was a brother of WILLIAM HOLMES. A son of WARD McCONCHIE owns the HOLMES place today. There also lived in the BILL TULLOS house a family by the name of JUDD who moved from the Shanandoah Valley. Mr. HAMILTON JUDD probably lived in several places on the way there. After WARD McCONCHIE gave up his store on account of failing health, he bought the late JAMES and MANDY HOLMES' place just little ways down the road from SUMERDUCK. HENRY C. and BOYER JONES took the store over. HENRY was a son of BROADUS JONES and HENRY's brother." page 9.... "The second store in Sumerduck years and years ago was run by WALTER TAYLOR who was the brother of WILLIAM JACKSON JONES' wife, LIZZIE TAYLOR JONES. After WALTER TAYLOR the store was runby MALORY and DELIA SMITH. There was a milliinery shop along with the store. Mr. SMITH ran a mill for granding feeds and was a sawer at the mill."
