I was going through a box of old family papers that my mother gave me yesterday, and stumbled across this book by Paul C. Shirley dated 1966. It gives interesting tidbits about the area. I'd be happy to do lookups if anyone is interested. Here's a couple examples: Aspen Hill - (1816). Built by John Trimble. Off Rt. 250 south, (Hanger, Hamilton, Waller). Rt. 612. Bosang's Tavern - On site of Central M. E. Church educational building. The notorious gambler, Robert Bailey, married the widow Bosang. Waddell pg 377. Early, Gen. Jubal. - Southern Civil War officer had his headquarters, December 1894, in the building now occupied by Schmid's Printery. Interesting little book to stumble upon ;) Donna Rousseau "Do not go where there is a path.... Rather go where there is no path and leave a trail..."
