Dear Wilma, I was raaised in Wise County, VA. and have heard lots of talk concerning Ferrell Strange, in fact he was reared by my great great grandmother and her second husband, Riley Hash, who was also Ferrell's uncle. Now Ferrrell's father old Billy Strange was a cabinetmaker and I have a daybed he made that is beautiful. Old Bille Strange first married a Hash a sister of Riley Hash. After her death I believe he married a Miller. Sincerely, Nancy Clark Brown -----Original Message----- From: Cheryl Strange-Laetsch <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, August 04, 1998 7:15 PM Subject: RE: [VAWISE-L] SURNAMES >Wilma, > >I wonder if Farrel's age was misread?
