Talk:Bailey's Crossroads, Virginia

Untitled

I moved the "Notable locations" off the article page because Eden Center and the Home Depot in question are in Seven Corners not Bailey's Crossroads. I'm not sure if there is a set definition for the Crossroads area or not — I could see an arguement for having the Crossroads stretch out as far as Culmore, but Seven Corners would seem to be its own area and not part of Bailey's Crossroads.

Doublechecking, there is an entry for Seven Corners, so the text in question was moved there. Carter 10:01, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Etymology mythology

The primary sources for the history of Hachaliah Bailey's move to Virginia seem to be Susan Flinner's book A History and the homeowners association post adapted from it. However, local historian Naomi Zeavin has written a book on the Bailey family that contradicts parts of the story. She claims that Hachaliah never moved to Virginia and it was his son who settled in Bailey's Crossroads. I'm hesitant to edit this section of the wiki article because I can't find Flinner's book anywhere and I don't have access to Zeavin's book.

If I had the facts straight, I would also edit this section to integrate the third paragraph into the first two. I might also remove some of the mentions of Baileys who are not relevant to the history of Bailey's Crossroads. As things stand now, I'm not sure how to handle this discrepancy of facts.
