We might be related. My father grew up in the Thaxton area and my g-grandmother was Ora Lucy Overstreet.

Hi Cindy, from Cindy....My husband's family came from Ireland, County Clare, to South Central Wisconsin, Green County. The family lived there for over one hundred years.
Richard Dooly born 1804 County Clair, immigrated 1845 to Mount Pleasant Twp., Green, Wisconsin. He married Catherine Hickey born Christmas 1810 Queens County. They had 3 children before immigrating. I still have a brother-in-aw, who lives in Green County, Wisconsin, but he and his wife do not have any children. But the other siblings including my husband and I have male children so the name lives on. There are Dooley cousins also living in Wisconsin.
So unless your Dooley name and my Dooley name can be connected back in Ireland, I doubt we are very closely related. But that is one of the reasons I'm here, to find relatives, and go back further in Ireland.
Thanks for responding, happy searching. If you find a connection, let me know, cause I'm stumped as to where to find anymore information, going back.

Hi Cindy! I will certainly let you know if I find anything that links our families together!
