His father was also Thomas COLLEY a Shipbroker. That's as far back as I can get unfortunately! If anyone has come across any London Colleys in the course of their research and think it might help with mine I would be very grateful. Thanks

Andrew Colley Jr. married Mildred Polly Nichols (Nicholas) 11 December 1804 in Christian County, Kentucky. Mildred, or Polly was born about 1790 Christian County, Kentucky. Thanks!

George & Thomas COLLEY 1790 Census Robeson, NC

bkmott — 4 Feb 2006 6:31:29 GMT

CENSUS YEAR: 1790 STATE: NC COUNTY: Robeson
Colley, George 2 males, 5 females
Colley, Thomas 1 male, 1 female

Does anyone have information on these two? I believe my ancestor, Nancy Colley b. 1767 may have been the daughter of George. She married Lewis HALL, Jr. in 1796 in Robeson, NC. Lewis was listed on the same census page as the George COLLEY family.

Both these COLLEY and HALL families appear to have been in Bladen Co. NC by 1770 when land deeds refer to "Big Colley Swamp". Either land lines changed or they both migrated to Robeson Co. then on to Montgomery & Appling Counties, Georgia.

Parents of Sarah Colley Born in Pittsylvania VA 1777

GlendaLohmann — 17 Jul 2004 1:52:07 GMT

I'm trying to determine the parents of Sarah Colley. She was born 5 Nov 1777 in Pittsylvania Co. VA. She died abt. 1843 in Oglethorpe Co. GA. She was married 29 Oct 1797 in Oglethorpe Co. GA to William Vaughn/Vaughan. He was the son of James Vaughan and Sarah Wilkes or Wilkins--I've seen both surnames given.
Sarah Colley named one of her sons Jonathan Colley Vaughn, so it leads me to believe that her father was Jonathan Colley, but I have nothing else to prove that assumption. I've seen files that show Jonathan Colley as a brother to Sarah Colley.
One file on the internet states that her parents are James Colley, b. 23 Jun 1752 in VA and Elizabeth UNKNOWN, b. abt. 1755. Still other files list the parents as Edward Colley and Mary Strong, with both Sarah and Jonathan as their children.
Does anyone have information on who the parents of Sarah Colley really are?? And what about Jonathan Colley?? It's all really confusing! I sure could use some help on this. I've been trying to track them down for over a year and can never find anything to conclude who the parents are for sure, and if Jonathan and Sarah are siblings, cousins, are how they are actually connected.

Colley family 1900 Census Pocahontas County WVA

In searching for my g-great grandmother's history I have been stumped... She was Samantha Phelps and was 27 and married to a 63 year old man in 1880 Nicholas County WVA. I am presuming her husband died before 1894. (Solomon Perkins) 1894 Pocahontas County WVA marriage index shows one Samantha Perkins married a William John Coly (as spelled). 1900 Census for Levels district of Poca. County shows the following.
William Colley b. 1856 KY parents b. England
Samantha b. 1853 (same as my Phelps) NC parents b. NC
Louisa 10 born WVA
at the time of Louisa's birth Samantha would have been 37 with numerous older/grown children. Her one daughter (the last to the Perkins) was 16 and living with sister Martha and family in 1900. Does anyone know anything about this William and Samantha Colley? Thanks for your time...

Obadiah Colley/Sarah Smith - Lewis County, MO

Darlene De Witt — 14 Nov 2006 4:57:03 GMT

Obadiah Colley married Sarah Smith in Virginia. He was a saloon keeper in Canton, Lewis County, Mo. He was in the 1860 census in that county, but Sarah Smith Colley was living with Van and Frances Swearingen in 1870, same county. I am assuming that he died between those census years. Would like information on his date of death and where buried. They lived in a little community of Tulley, Missouri. Frances died after 1870 and I am assuming that she is buried beside Obadiah, because she did not go to California in 1874 with Van and Frances their daughter.

Would appreciate any informtion as these are my 4th great-grndparents.

@@david.kerr@ci.austin.tx.us — 21 Jul 2005 9:33:51 GMT

A friend I served in Submarine Service with showed me a Bible given to him by his 84 yr. old Mother. Opening it to

Kerr marr. Mary Wiley May 28,1793. Then it proceeded to name
Sarah Kerr b. July 6, 1796; Thomas Kerr b. Oct.3,1797; Francis or Farris Kerr b. Nov.12, 1798; Enos Kerr b. Mar.10,

Kerr b. Jun. or Jan. 1806 (Penn.); Julia Kerr b. 1809 (Fayette Co. PA.); Elizabeth Kerr b. Oct. 10, 1811 & James
Kerr, who died after 6 months. Then Bible entries began to
list the surname Colley! Starting with Levi Colley Marr.
Lydia Colley in 1835 in Fayette Co., PA. Lydia must have
been a first cousin from pedigree back to Peter Colley who
was apparently born at sea Feb. 2,1757. Peter to Abel Colley b. Mar.11,1792 to Levi Colley b., 1813 to Abel Colley

Colley families of Breathitt co Ky & surrounding counties 1839 & over

Helen Tillotson — 14 Jul 2006 4:30:52 GMT

Need information on my gggrandfather--Harmon/Hireman/Hirman Colley. I have found information in the Civil War Pension ap filed by his 2nd wife, Delilah Neace after his death during the Civil War. Harmon's record shows his name being changed from Hireman or Hirman to Harmon upon entering the War. Any info on a family with this man as a child would be greatly appreciated. Harmon left behind one son--Elijah, by Harmon's first wife, who was raised by the Bush family (probably Harmon's mother as Elijah's mother Nancy died before 1861). Harmon and Delilah had several children- Elizabeth aka Betty, married Alexander Claiborn Fugate, daughter Rachel married Wm Nathan Honeysuckle Noble of Ky. If anyone has info on a Colley who married a Bush, this would be incredible for my files. I know 2nd wife Delilah lived and never remarried til approximately 1925 in Ky, but have not been able to find her death records or any info from 1880 except the civil war pension record. Need any info you might possibly have or any photos of either of these families. Please help! Thank you.

Thomas Colley/ Coley Washington Co. VA born 1799

antiquemll — 14 Jan 2005 11:15:13 GMT

I have just recently started searching my husbands Colley/Coley line. I have it back to Thomas Coley m. Catherine Elsey about 1824-25. I find the family in the 1850 census in Smyth Co.
1850 United States Federal Census > Virginia > Smyth > District 60

Thomas Coley 51 Mason NC
Catherine 45 VA
William F. 24 Blacksmith VA
Phoebe 22 VA
Lucinda 18 VA
Kisiah 15 (F) Indiana
Caroline 6 VA
Thomas W 2 VA
Pleasant Perry 15 NC

Before that I believe that they are in Washington Co. and I find in the 1830 census a Thomas Colley whose info matches the above family

1830 United States Federal Census > Virginia > Washington > Not Stated

Thomas Colley 30-40 1 male under five (William F.) 1 female under 5 (Phoebe) 1 female 20-30 (Catherine Elsey)

I find Catherines father in the 1820 census

1820 United States Federal Census > Virginia > Washington > Not Stated

Wm Elsce 1 male under 10, 1 male under 16, 1 male 16-26, 1 male 45 and over, 1 female under 10, 1 female under 16, 1 female over 45

There are 2 Thomas Colleys in the 1830 census one on one page and then a Sr. and "son of Tom" on another page but the "Son of Tom" does not match my info. It is the OTHER Thomas that does. There is also a John Colley abt. the same age as my Thomas and a Shadrick Colley 10-20 years older than my Thomas.

Can anyone help me out? Does anyone know who the father of this Thomas is?

I would appreciate any help and especially a marriage lookup for around 1824-25 in Washington Co. for a Colley and Esley any spelling! Thanks! Julie
