Comment by John Culley on August 5, 2014 at 2:18pm: My great grandfather was Robert Culley who is said to have run away from when "when young." 1880 Census indicates his parents were from Indiana. According to tradition he was born in Ohio, either in Greene County or "in or near Toledo." Censuses say Kentucky. # One of his children in the 1860 Census is named Cornelius. Could that be a connection to the Culley/Cannaday people who went from Carteret County, NC to Posey County, IN? I'm open to any possibilities.

Comment by Emily Allyn Moore on July 11, 2014 at 9:39am: I am interested in the family of Thomas and Lucretia Culley of Carteret County, NC. Their family later moved to Posey County, Indiana.

Comment by Yvette Porter Moore on February 22, 2012 at 1:08pm: Thank you Penny for that information.

Comment by Penny Holt on February 22, 2012 at 12:55pm: Your Culley's are a long way from the ones that I am researching. Culley is a name that is most common around the Norwich area of Norfolk. If you are looking back to the 'Old Country', that might be where you want to aim your compass.

Comment by Penny Holt on February 22, 2012 at 12:53pm: You Culley's seem to be a long way away from the ones that I am researching. I can tell you that Culley is a name that was most common around the Norwich area of Norfolk. If you are looking back at the 'Old Country', that would be where I would consider aiming my compass.

Comment by Yvette Porter Moore on February 22, 2012 at 11:15am: Welcome to the Culley Group Penny! I am very unsure of where my Cully/Culley's orginated. I do know however that my 3x Grandfather, William H. Culley was born in Craven County, NC and he and his brother were apprenticed to a William Dove approximately 1814.

They were free people of color. I am trying to find their roots, as I believe that it started in Virginia, but need more information. I believe that my William H. Culley's mother had children by the Slave Master/Plantation Owner.

Heard we are of Irish Descent or from England...Not sure.

Comment by Penny Holt on February 22, 2012 at 11:00am: I'm researching CULLEY in Norfolk and later Cabridgeshire. I'm especially interested to find a photo of John Charles Vandeleur Culley who died in the l990;s in Little Shelford, Cambridgeshire. Happy to share research.
