What was the exact location of Ritchie's property? Was it where the shopping center is now, the one with Pohanka Hyundai?
That is close to the Ritchie Road Spur. What were the years that John Ritchie was alive?
I seem to remember that he may have been a contemporary of Walker who owned Walker Mill. Also, my husband's great grandfather was alive at that time. He lived in Forestville.
