>If anyone's curious, this book was inspired by the first breech of promise
suit in VA, which was between Cecily Jordan (nee Reynolds), the widow of
Samuel Jordan of Jordan's Journey/Beggar's Bush, and Rev. Greville
(spelling varies) Pooley.  She ended up marrying William Farrar (of Farrar
Is.), and one of their sons was my ancestor.  (She was widowed a total of 4
times!)  Anyhow, that was only the starting point for the story, and from
that spark, the rest has been pure invention.<

I had been under the impression that her maiden name is still unknown.  Can
you tell me the source of the name REYNOLDS?  And do you know the
name of her first husband, ____ BAILEY?
