Family Tree Maker's Genealogy Site: User Home Pages: Weekley - Rowley Familys of NY,MD, PA,OH, WV, CO,NE, AZ & CA


Change my e-mail address to kepalideta@hotmail.com I am researching the family trees of the (1) Weekley, Weekly, Weakley, Ankrum, Bosworth, Maxwell & Hughes on my fathers side. (2) Rowley, Riley, Parsons, McGlothlin, King on my Mothers side. (3) Shanklin, Hope, Hudnall, Wood and Smith on my wifes side. The Weekley side of the family that I am following are from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia then as they migrated westward to Co., NE, CA and northward. They go back to Thomas Weekley, Sr. in Fredrick, MD. who served in the Revolutionary War then moved westward into Green (Washington) County PA on Ten(10)Mile Creek some 70 miles south of Pittsburgh, then into Tyler Co., VA now WV. My DNA ties me with a couple other Weekley genealogists to Thomas Weekley, Sr. The Rowleys go back into England with Henry Rowley born 1598 in later years moved to Plymouth, Mass.USA. Henry's family grew and migrated northeast and westward, but leaving a 4 to 5 generation gap between his families and William Henry, Thomas and Isaac Rowley. These guys all came down the Ohio River to settle with William Henry Rowley and his family who inter married with the Buffington Family on Buffington Island, then most of them moving into Jackson County, WV. Isaac and I think Thomas went directly into the fields of Ohio to settle Gallia County. William "Bill" Rowley eldest of William Henry continued south on the Ohio and settled into Scioto Co., Ohio. After about 30 years or so many begin migrating westward again, into Illinois, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska and over the Rockies into California. Much of my inspiration comes for my Great Uncle, Homer King Rowley and his wife (2) who spent hours traveling, researching, leg work and midnight hours to publish his book "Rowley-King Family 1630 thru 1980". Completed years before Genealogy was a known task and most people did not know what genealogy meant. He did not have a computer but a portable manuel typewriter, no fancy digital color camera as we have today. Others such as my mother Mabel Rowley Weekley and her book "To My Children" also my father James Oliver and Grandfather Okey J. Weekley as they would argue when we visited on the farm about our ancestories and the spelling of our name. Who put the "e" in or took it out of Weekl(e)y and who wants to be called "a Weak person." I have in excess of 10,500 individuals in 18 generations and some 1,813 surnames, 3,752 marriages and the earliest birthdate is that of Sir John Palmer in 1548 found in this genealogy. Only 2,000 names are listed here as required. I listed most of the Weekley, Weekly, Rowley,names here but many of the wives maidens names had to be left out. Complete trees of my genealogy are not available here. I started my genealogy in 1988 on my first computer a 286 with a 40 mb hard dirve and no (0) Ram. My first software was "Expert for Roots". I begin my task with bible notes, several sheets of paper with notes, charts, diagrams of ancestory from my father, grandfather, Aunts also Homers genealogy book, my mother's book "To my Children" which tells stories of life in the early 1900's that I tried to include. I have logged tons of data from my parents, grandparents, aunts, Uncles and cousins before they died - a wealth of information. I have about 168 sources listed. Keep in mind that sources such as tombstones, bible notes, Census reports, County vital records as birth, death and marriage records will have mistakes in them. Spelling of names are the number one problem. When you view a tombstone and a spouces name is added with their date of birth but their death is not listed, they are not there, in most every case.	*Weekley - Rowley Familys of NY,MD, PA,OH, WV, CO,NE, AZ & CA* Updated May 25, 2012
