Notes:
Watt Rettew & Clay are listed under both drugstores and "dry goods" stores in Roanoke city directories.
The Norfolk directories showed a druggist name William J Watts, as shown above, but I'm not certain if he's the same guy who was partnered with Watt Rettew & Clay or not.

(more information will be added when I get around to researching this company)
