Appreciate the information that the Searcys had ties with Old Nick Williams, aka N. Glenn Williams of Yadkin Valley North Carolina. For those interested in following up, my post on Williams appeared on October 4, 2013.

Have been made aware of the rebirth of the Ripy house -- obviously a famous name in US whiskey history -- from a lawyer friend here in Alexandria Virginia named Tom Parry. I think he is assisting the family on intellectual property rights. For myself, you can use both info and pictures on Searcy as you see fit. One of these days I will do a piece on the Ripy family and be in touch with you for information. Hope your husband's visitor's center is a great success.

Ripy house in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky where he owns a gift shop and visitors' center for the Ripy house. I was hoping that I could ask you about some of the images and information featured on your blog post. Please contact me at your convenience.
