I think it may be long shot but its worth asking if you recognise any of these people in your records.
My great grandfather, Lutheran Rev. John Abner Locke Miller, wed Mary Ann Pinkston, daughter of Pvt. Wm. Franklin Pinkston, CSA, of Zeb/Franklin, Rowan Co., N.C., and brother of 3rd Lt. Jesse Rowan Pinkston, CSA.
Hi Monica, You actually have been corresponding with my mom, Fabel Konicke. I wll try to get some of the dates from my mom - she has done most of the work!
Monica. I am interested in the Brickley name. My gr grandmother was a Brickley. The family seemed to have been located mostly in Iowa, however they did migrate there. Do you have Brickley's in your ancestors?
Good luck to you as well, and if you ever need a suggestion, etc., feel free to get back to me. My father's side of the family are all through Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, areas

Can you tell me what sources you have looked at thus far? For example, did you know there is a Haley group in Rootsweb, and maybe a bulletin board as well. I never got much out of them but most of the discussion seemed to deal with Haley's in the South. You might try them, its all free.
