Hello Mr. Bohn,

 

I have received a copy of family history infomation from a newfound relative, Robin Burton in Oak Hill, Ohio.  I am also a descendant of Robert and Elizabeth Jane King Donley. However, our dates for them are not the same.  Robert and Elizabeth are buried in Blackfork, Ohio and the dates on their tombstones are Robert:  Aug 10, 1822 - April 17 1899.

Elizabeth: Aug 13, 1821 - Dec 18, 1896.  Roberts son - Samuel Montlemual Donley was my great grandfather, and his son Samuel Syrus was my grandfather.  Samuel Montlemual lived his last years with a son Chester Donley in Firebrick, Ohio - where Robert and Nancy raised their children (and in the same house).  It was Chester who put the stones on the gravesites (my cousin was with him at the time), using the birthdates told to him by Samuel M. (Roberts son).   Your note says that Samuel may have been a Civil War Veteran. He was not. He was born on March 26, 1847.  He married Nancy Smith on July 7, 1868.  His birthdate is correct in your info and he is buried at South Webster Ohio cemetery in Scioto County.  Your James MINFORD birthdate does not match mine either - as I have Apr 12, 1851. - but the marriage date matches. The first child of Robert and Elizabeth was Marry Ann: born Mar 24, 1843 - and she married William Diles.  Hannah Jane (our birthdate match) married Samuel Hennegar. Sarah M. was born March 5, 1849, and married John Farmer.  I have Isabella the same : Aug 20, 1853 as birthdate - no death date and don't have a spouse..  The next child was Henrietta Donley born Jan 1, 1856 - she married Jesse Hennegar. Elizabeth was the eighth child -born Apr 16, 1858 and was never married - though she had four children.  Her daughter Rebecca Donley married Frank Reed and their daughter Golda is the grandmother of your most recent contact; Robin Burton (our mutual contact).  Their 9th child was Robert: born Sept 19, 1860, and the 10th and last child was William J. born Feb 25, 1862 - and he married Laura Mathews on March 14, 1887. They did not have a son named Jesse --- I don't believe - because thi information came from Samuel Montlemual Donley's family bible.  Robin's grandmother Golda remembers a lot of these people as a child - or rather the cousins.  She will soon be 97 and has an excellent memory.  It was a pleasure to meet her. 

Well, this seems to be enough for the time being.

I would like to give you the email of Carolyn Riffle, who contacted me last year from Texas, and came to our Donley Reunion this summer.  She is also a descendant of James and Sabina.  She will be happy to hear from you.

 

Blessing, Kay
