Our library has a copy of Chataigne's Virginia Gazetteer and Classified Business Directory for 1890-91. In the chapter for Giles County it lists the following Attorneys-at-Law: Cecil, P.W. Ripplemead Easley, G.W. Pearisburg Echols, James A Hoge's Store Hardwick, T.G. Newport Johnson, James D. Pearisburg Porterfield, G.T. Newport Strader, George Bane Strother, P.W. Pearisburg Taylor, Hicks Thessalia Taylor, Walter Thessalia I hope your great grandfather is one of the above. This is the only year we have so you might want to check with Library of Virginia or other sources for similar directories.

[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Chuck Burress Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2004 12:41 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Directory of Attorneys? Does anyone know of any directory of attorneys that was published for Virginia (or nationally) in the late 1800s? I'm interested in seeing if there is a listing included for my great grandfather who practiced law at that time in Giles County. Thanks!
