    3. Dranesville: My ancestors Nicholas & Jane Farr and some of their family were buried at Dranesville Methodist. Luckily, their gravestones still stand. If you have ancestors in the Dranesville area, I suggest you look at two old ledgers at the Virginia Historical Society, that are from the Dranesville area. One is from 1841 to 1842, the other (kept by a Dr.) dates from 1853-1889. See: http://vhs3.vahistorical.org/cgi-bin/starfinder/28016/x.starmarc.txt For example, I found that Nicholas had bought a toothbrush back in 1842, among many other items. And in the Dr.'s book, there's notations of sicknesses and births and all kinds of cool genealogical/historical stuff. Dranesville was off and on in both Loudoun and Fairfax, so check out the Fairfax county chancery records for more genealogical goodies. Tom Bishop
