Squire Rangeley's home as it sits today in Rangeley,
Virginia. The section on the far right is the original house - 3 rooms, living room, very small keeping room behind that and a bedroom upstairs. The next owner added the middle section where the front door is. Now the living room is to the left of the front door and the original living room is now a nice dining room. Squire added the left section made of brick. He put his office on the first floor and there is a bedroom for "travelers" on the second floor. This section of the house can be "locked off" from the rest of the house in case the traveler was not trustworthy.
At this point in time, it was named the "house of three wings". It was also called
Hillcroft. Since then, it has been added onto twice.

Photo of the Rangeley Family Reunion in front of Squire Rangeley's final home, June, 2004. I am on my knees, in the middle of the front row, red blouse, white shorts, glasses and short hair. My dad, Robert Rangeley is in the back row, brown shirt, silver hair. His sister, Jean Rangeley Haberle is to his left in the blue blouse.
These are the Rangeley descendants, without spouses.

"Rangeley, Virginia is named for the family. It is just a
small community, not an incorporated town.
There is also a Rangley, Colorado (note the spelling). No one seems to know exactly how it got its name, or whether or not
it has any connection to the family. One historian of the
area said it began as a railroad town and that towns along the railroad were often named for investors in the venture."

"I'll be sending several photos of the cemetery so that you can get a sense of how bad it looks. This front wall is leaning about 25-30% and is being held up with a couple of steel posts. The gate is in terrible shape.
The Kings, who own the Virginia Rangeley house now, have not been able to do anything since they don't own it. It is owned by a trust. So, it's up to the family or whomever to do the repairs. We will be replacing this block wall with and extruded aluminum fence and a new gate. So far we have raised about $4000 - still need about $3000 more. So we'll see how it goes."

"The Rangeley graveyard is located in the woods to the
left of Hillcroft, the home James built in Virginia. As
you are looking at the front of the house, the cemetery would be to the left."

This is the cemetery. I am in the middle of the photo, white shorts, red blouse. That is Squire Rangeley's stone directly at my back. His wife Mary's stone is in front of the man in the blue shirt. He is Fred Lee Rangeley.
You can see some of the very uneven stones and that the back wall is badly cracked. It is being held up with steel posts on the outside

Sue Rangeley in front of a painting of Henry Rangeley (Squire's son who was left in England) which apparently was painted circa 1840.
Sue lives in Oxfordshire, England, and works professionally as a Textile
Artist, specializing in embroidered fashion works. "Perhaps a
thread that links me to my ancestor, James Rangeley, a Cloth Merchant from
Leeds, Yorkshire!"

Sue's cousins' images appear in front of the same

This beautiful wooden bowl is a gift from the descendants
of Henry Rangeley, the son that Squire and Mrs. James Rangeley left
in England when they moved to the United States.
The bowl, sent by Sue Rangeley in August of 2006, was made from a
beech tree that was cut from Unstone Grange where Henry Rangeley lived for
30 years. Please note the
bowl's inscription in the photo below.
