Mrs. Winnegham and Mrs. Tinney were among the weavers of cloth and carpets; the settlers did their own domestic and industrial labor, and drew supplies, in the matter of groceries, principally from Lexington and Richmond.

Richmond, the town this property stands in, in 62 storm reports between 1993 and 2025: 29 thunderstorm wind, 22 hail, 7 flash flood, 2 lightning.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
A local newspaper reported downed trees and power lines. Half of the bleacher seats at the high school football field were ripped out of place and left twisted on the field. A 75-foot-hole was also torn in the ceiling of a Wal-Mart store.
Lightning struck a power line which carries a surge of electricity into a a Richmond home during a thunderstorm. The electrical surge sparked a fire which resulted in about 10,000 dollars in damage to the home. No one was injured in the fire.
A swath of wind around 80 to 90 mph affected areas in and around Richmond. A center point irrigation system was toppled over southwest of the city. Inside Richmond several trees were snapped as well as power poles. Several outbuildings were destroyed and several residences in the city sustained slightly more than cosmetic damage. The narrow and localized swath was consistent with a possible mesovortex, but the debris strewn generally unidirectional down stream from the source of the damage indicated straight line winds.
Lightning during a thunderstorm knocked out the power to the City of Richmond's wells. The Mayor of Richmond was forced to temporarily order the closing of laundromats and car washes until the 60-horsepower motor and water pressure were restored.
