Hi Ruthie, Your email re. former owners of your sister's home interested me. Is it located in Waterford? My ancestor was Edward Thompson. At his death he resided near Aldie, VA. Since Thompson is since a common name, I doubt if he's the one you're referring to. He was born 1803 and died 1886. Also have some connection to the Virts family through Eliza Virts, who married John Peter Derry.

He was a "near relative of the Janneys". Then a Thompson (I think he said Edward) bought her place, then William Virts (not sure of the spelling), Uriah Bean, Mc Garevick, then Boones. Anyone who has any great stories about any of these families, we would love to read them. By the way, I loved the antique shops. They were terrific. I bought a great old chair. I love the chair-it looks exactly like a Waterford chair, but it is a valet chair. Does anyone know if the Waterford chairs were sometimes Valet chairs? Thank you for all your wonderful responses to my original email and hope I get as many wonderful responses to this one.

Sandra--I'm looking for Derry's....one of my ancestors, Alice Tribby married Charles Derry in the early 1890's. They had children John Garland bn 1894, Lillian bn 1897, Charles bn 1900, Gilbert O, bn 1900, and Eva. Do any of these names sound familiar? Thanks.
