Thomas, Ann W. (Ann Whitehead)

A native Virginian, Ann Whitehead Thomas became a resident of Round Hill, Va., in 1968, soon after her 1961 marriage to H. Rogers Thomas (1911-2001). She had close connections to Upper Loudoun preceding her move to Round Hill; Snickersville and Snickersville Gap were named after her relative Edward Snickers. Mrs. Thomas graduated from Mary Baldwin College, Staunton. She served on the first Thomas Balch Library Advisory Board and on a committee for Winchester Handley Library. In 1998 she received a Loudoun History Award for her work in preserving Loudoun County's heritage. Although Mrs. Thomas has been involved in genealogical and local history for over thirty years, in the early 1990s she began systematically collecting information for the book she intended to write, which she completed in 2004. The Story of Round Hill, published from the findings of this collection, traces Round Hill from early America's first land grants to today's development landscape. This book chronicles in detail changes in the town's residents,businesses, government, houses, and customs; a product of the research contained in these folders.
