    Let's get the ball rolling...

    I am related to, and researching, the Corley's of British Columbia by way of Saskatchewan, Ontario and originally Ireland.

    Furthest back I've gone so far is John and Ellen (Monahan) Corley c. 1800.

    My Corley's came to TX in the 1850's from Edgefield County SC. I have a copy of the book Southern Sojourners which is a history of the Corley back to about 1650 by Rosemary Corley Neal. I am searching for history of Adkin Corley married to Elizabeth, who I "think" may have died betweeen 1850 -1860 in SC.. His entire family moved to TX but Adkin was not with the family. This Adkin was not married to Deliah Duncan. There were two Adkins at that time in Edgefield county.
  • Melissa Lea Corley

    I am a direct descendant of Richard the Immigrant (mentioned in Rosemary Corley Neal's book Southern Sojourners). I have a copy of A Genealogy of Corleys by Dewitt Corley. I'm researching the Corleys as the progressed from Viriginia to Iowa/Illinois. Would love to determine where Richard immigrated from, but that seems to be a brickwall no one has conquered...
  • Sarah Johnsen

    I too have a copy of A Geneology Of Corleys. I just started researching this side of my family and my grandfather gave me his copy of this book. It is amazing what I have been able to find already.

    I take it this book is really only relevent to Corleys from the US?
  • Melissa Lea Corley

    Victoria, the book covers the descendants of Caniel Corley, who lived in Virginia in the 1700s. Caniel was a descendant of Richard Corley (The Immigrant), who arrived here in the 1600s. His country of origin is as yet unknown to me.
  • Tanya Corley Wormington

    I'm a novice of genealogy, but want to know more about my ancestors. The farthest back I can go is my ggg-grandparents. They were Larkin Dawson "Cap" Corley and Lucy Goree. They married in Coweta Cty, GA on 10/15/1839. Is there a way to get A Genealogy of Corleys or Southern Sojourners? Any help I could get would be very appreciated.

    Hi All.  I'm working on a Corley Book for descendants of Sally Finley and Caniel Corley.  So far I have 1086 pages with tons of primary source documents.

     

    I've been researching the Corleys for about 40 years.

    Hello everyone, I would be interested in reading Southern Sojourners as well. Does anyone know if it covers farther back than Caniel? I, too, am a direct descendant of Richard the Immigrant; my ancestor being Caniel's uncle Robert and was wondering if this book stopped with Caniel like "A Genealogy Of Corleys" and Mr. Caulley's book "All Her Children" will; does anyone know?
