| I have just started my research into my family, HALEY and my husband's family, ELLIOTT. I will be updating and adding info to this page as I go. SURNAMES IN MY RESEARCH: Haley - Bower - Merriman - Williams - Jones - Elliott - Wall - Torrence - Cannon/Fincannon LOCATIONS IN MY RESEARCH: Virginia - Georgia - North Carolina - Tennessee - Kentucky - Ireland - Germany - Scotland HALEY: Originally from County Cork, Ireland and supposedly came to America as prisoners sent to Georgia Penal Colony. I do not know when they arrived, but my grandfather, William C. Haley, married my grandmother, Georgia (Kansas or Candas) Asberry, approximately 1899. Her mother was a full blooded Cherokee Indian however, I have no idea of what race or heritage her father was. (I have very little info regarding my grandmother...she did say she was related to Jesse James, but did not go into this any further.) BOWER: Maternal grandfather Lee Sample Bower. Family was originally from Germany and settled in Pennsylvania and Virginia. He was born in late 1800's. ELLIOTT: Originally from Scotland, (Highlanders). Settled in Western North Carolina area, Georgia, and Tennessee. As I said, I am just getting started with this and it is awfully difficult, as my parents divorced when I was very young and are now, both dead. I have only bits and pieces told to me over the years. My husband's family, (Elliott) are true Highlander Scotch and were very "close mouthed" about their heritage. We have been to Murphy, North Carolina where most of the older ones settled and found their burial plots, but that's about it! No real info on them and don't know how to go any further. Will keep looking...and keeping the history and facts in my genalogy updated. It is great fun...trying to "climb" this gnarly old "family tree"!!! I would surely appreciate any help you can offer and would be willing to share any information that I do have. |
