Thanks to Linda who was correct in saying that it was a forge. I believe it could have been the old Pine Forge near New Market and somewhere stored in my back of my brain was a memory based on a conversation with an old timer that Pine Forge was referred to as Valley Forge sometimes. Or at least I think that what they said. That was at least 10 years ago and my memory isn't as good as it used to be. I found William Bailey in the 1880 census living near New Market with neighbors Strother and George W. Shaffer, George A. Stillwell and Joseph and Fannie Myers. This would have been in the Smith Creek area near New Market. 1880 Federal Census: Virginia Lee Township, Ed 88, Shenandoah County Enumerated 7 June 1880 Page 512A Lines 30-38, HH 197/209 William Bailey White/Male/62/Married/WorksOnFarm/VA/VA/VA Sarah F.
