The Bartley/Dudley Home Page

The surnames I am currently researching include the following:
BARTLEY- in the Monroe Co, Kentucky area from about 1800 to Texas around 1900. They apparently went to Missouri and then into Oklahoma for a few years on the way to Texas.

DUDLEY- in Upshur Co, Texas from about 1870 to 1920.

TANT- in Jackson, Bartow (Cass) and Paulding counties from early 1800's to about 1880. Before that they were in South Carolina. They came to Texas about 1880.

HILL- in Marshall Co, Alabama by 1880, came to Upshur and Gregg Counties in Texas in late 1890's.

DAY- East Tennessee (Jefferson, Hawkins Co, etc.) from around 1780, before that in Virginia. Moved to Barren Co, Kentucky about 1855, and then to Monroe Co, Kentucky about 1860.

SLIDER- in Upshur Co, Texas about 1850 to 1875, maybe later. May have come from Tennessee.

HAMMOND- in Anderson Co, South Carolina before 1858, may have moved to Marshall Co, Alabama by 1870's.

SPURGIN or SPURGEON- this family was in Maryland in the early 1700's, moved into Virginia and then Rowan Co, North Carolina during the Revolutionary War. Part of the family were Loyalists and went to Canada. My branch went into eastern Tennessee by 1790, then to Warren Co, Iowa by 1850, maybe into Missouri, and wound up in Collin Co, Texas by 1870.

ARRANTS- started in Cecil Co, Maryland in early 1700's, sometime after 1766 moved down the coast into Sullivan Co, Tennessee by about 1789.

Any information on the above families would be appreciated. I'm willing to share information or work together with other researchers on these and related families.
