The fact that William and Margaret Haley have not been found at this time on an NC record doesn't mean they were not there. It only means that they didn't own land while they were there. William Haley, who can definitely be linked to a current line to today, has his first verifiable record in Franklin County, Georgia. As his ancestors would like to know the truth about William's ancestry this is an important place to note. On the Franklin County, Georgia tax list of 1800, page 33 is listed William and James Hailey. While I have not followed this up myself, popular thought has it that this is the same James R Haley who is said to have been born in Virginia in 1765 and was buried in the Haley family cemetery off hwy. 106 in Franklin County, Georgia.

Ga ). In 1806 he was in Dixon/Hickman Co. TN and had his land sold in Wayne Co. GA. He got in the land lottery.

He got in the land lottery. (Was this Sr. or Jr.?) 1 Jan 1811 William Haley, Sr. of Hickman County, Tennessee made a deed of gift to his sons Robert and Alphard (Alfred) Haley on 1 Jan 1811, recorded 28 Nov 1811. It is assumed that William Haley must have died in Hickman County, Tenn. between January and Nov. 1811. 11 Jan 1814 William Haley of Giles County, Tennessee sold his land in Hickman County to William Stinnett, witnessed by Jacob Haley. 1816 The five sons came to Mississippi from Tennessee in 1816. 1816 Census of Washington County, Alabama (Mississippi Territory) listed William Hailey, John Hailey, Richd. Hailey, and Richd. Hailey, Sen. 1820 in Wayne County, Mississippi; Jacob M. Haley, Thomas Haley, William Haley Jr., Alfred Haley, and Robert Haley in Covington County, Mississippi. 1820 Mississippi Census shows Alfred Hailey in Wayne County; Jacob Haley, Thomas Haley, William Haley, and Robert Haley in Covington County. 1828 It shows as of 16 Jan 1828 he (William Sr.) has not claimed his VA lands (Rev. soldier under Geo.

The Haleys and Conners of Caroline County, Virginia were Quakers and the Quakers did not mark graves of the deceased. This may be why we cannot locate any marked graves for the Haleys before the children of Jacob M. Haley. William Haley Sr. at Valley Forge? From: "Michael Hailey" <hailey-m@mssu.edu To: <haley@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2007 6:38 PM Subject: [HALEY] Margaret & William Bad information is hard to correct but will try again. Relatives & Friends Recently I have sent emails that put in question some of the assumptions concerning the Haley line that originates with the William Haley said to have been at Valley Forge. An email asked, ‘Now that you put this in question where does that leave us?’ A fair question but not one that I had an answer for at that moment. I have since gone back over my notes and checked against info that I found on the internet and I feel that I have a better idea of where that research may find the truth. Beginning with what is known. I have seen copies of documents that verify that there was a William Haley at Valley Forge. As Valley Forge is only a short distance from Philadelphia, I believe it is only logical to assume that the William Haley at Valley Forge was the William Haley who married Margaret Connor on April 13, 1778. (He a soldier of the Virginia Line, and she of that Commonwealth, at Valley Forge, William Rogers, minister) This record is from the records of the First Baptist Church of Philadelphia.
