Berryville Main Street Winter 2014 Member Feature Midwives - Wendy Dotson L oudoun Community M i dw iv e s was founded in 2003 by certified Nursemidwives Wendy Dotson, CNM and Margie Brandquist, CNM. Our goal was to expand the options of women and their families who wanted this model of care in the hospital setting. We have now attended over 4,000 births at Inova Loudoun Hospital, and have 6 full-time midwives. We have a LOW c/section rate (9-10%) and about half our moms choose unmedicated, natural childbirth, while about half choose epidurals. We provide comprehensive pregnancy care and also care for women throughout the life cycle with gynecology and family planning services. (Continued on back) $1500 GIVEAWAY HAS BEGUN!

Locke Store- Millwood, VA By Juliet MacKay-Smith M y grandparents moved to Clarke County in the 1930’s, when the road that passes through Millwood took a turn in front of Locke Store, and forded Spout Run just beyond the Burwell-Morgan Mill. The store was built in 1836 and has been a continuous working store since that time, conveniently serving Clarke County with provisions as well as a community meeting place. When I was growing up, I visited my grandmother’s farm in the summers, and always looked forward to getting a ‘treat’ at Locke Store. After 12 years of serving up our own treats, the Ladies (& Gents) of Locke Store are once again busy preparing for the holidays. We look forward to providing you, our loyal customers of Berryville & Clarke County, with fabulous food, fine wines & craft beers, and unique gifts to make your season more hassle-free and full of splendor!

Yes, it was the home of Virginia Governor and U. S. Senator Harry F. Byrd Sr. and a haven for Washington’s elite for 200 years, but did you know the estate began as a gambling debt? An August 15, 1932 oral history of Rosemont by Reverend Sigismund Stribling Ware for Louise C. Bakewell and transcribed by her nurse Catherine Fincham, provided information about the owner of Rosemont about 1760. In the interest of space, I will highlight from his notes as it pertains to Rosemont’s history It begins, “Starting at what is now known as Castleman’s Ferry on the Shenandoah River. Following the River as far as “The Rocks,” now owned by Miss Ann Lewis. In this section of land there were about ten thousand acres owned by Mr. Mann Page of “Mansfield” near Fredericksburg, Virginia.” “Mann Page www.berryvillemainstreet.org News from Berryville Main Street And Its Members was at Williamsburg, Virginia, where he created a gambling debt amounting to five hundred pounds. He could not pay this debt. He borrowed five hundred pounds from Sir Ralph Wormley, giving him in payment the ten thousand acres of land in the section along the Shenandoah River starting at Castleman’s Ferry. He gave it at twenty-five (25) cents per acre. He did this because General George Washington told him it was a fine body of land (this was about the year 1730). Sir Ralph Wormley who owned this tract of land lived at “Rose Hill. At the beginning of the Revolutionary War, Sir Ralph Wormley became a Tory and was banished from that country and made to go to Berkeley and Frederick counties). Made to stay there where he owned property. He had two sons and one daughter that I know of and their names were James, John, and Anne….” down the original house, replacing it with a large colonial frame house. Mr. Clapp sold the place to Mr. Arthur Warthen of Front Royal, Virginia. Who sold the main place, with house on it to Mrs. Harriman. The other part of the place was divided and sold to Mr. John B. Neill and Mr. M. C. Warden. And, Mr. Harry F. Byrd and Rev. William Smith. Later Mr. Byrd bought Mr. Smith’s share.” “Anne inherited the estate known as “Rosemont” and married George Norris and had three children by this marriage. Their names were John, William, and Mrs. Thornton. Mrs. Thornton left no heirs.” (FYI: the Thornton daughter married Isaac Tyson and they bought Rosemont in 1856. The Tyson family was prominent in Maryland industrial circles and a donor has been researching the family.” We know that Mrs. Harriman added fourteen rooms to the house and had the house stuccoed and moved several oak trees which once stood to the north of the house. Mrs. Harriman changed the original entrance by moving it further up the pike. “Then, Rosemont was bought by Mr. Jesse Tyson of Baltimore, Maryland. Mr. M. C. Clapp of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, bought “Rosemont” from the Tyson estate, about 1901. He and his family lived there. He tore “Mrs. Harriman sold it to Dr. William M. Smith, who left it to his widow. She sold it to the former Governor Harry F. Byrd, who recently purchased the Neill-Warden portion. “Cleft Oak” formerly known as “Mantua” was sold by Mr. Norris to a Mr. Beamer who sold it to Mr. A. Moore, Jr. Mr. Moore changed the name to “Cleft Oak” because there was a very handsome oak tree standing near the top of what is known as “Grind Stone Hill” on the valley pike, which had a cannon ball shot through it during the Civil War. This oak tree crumbled away recently.” “Mr. Moore sold “Cleft Oak” to a Mrs. Kitteridge and it is now owned by the Round Hill Orchard Company.” The oral history from Reverend Ware gives readers a picture about Rosemont’s beginnings. Then came the Genda family and we are proud of their ownership, restoration, and renovations! Visit Rosemont on December 15th, 2014, from 5 to 8PM. The fee is $10 for adults and $5 for students (through college). Come to 16 Rosemont Manor Lane, Berryville. Refreshments will be served and gift items can be purchased.
