Subject: [CARLEY] RE: Brookins Carley
Sorry the response to this is so late in coming, my computer has been
down
for a long time.
Abraham Carley married Susannah Brookins about 1740. Abraham was born
in
1717 prpbably in Boston although the Carley family had roots in
Marlborough,
Lancaster and
Sudbury, MA, descending from Wiliam Kerly of Ashmore, Dorset, England.
He
came to America in 1638/9 with 2 sons and a daughter. Abraham and
Susannah had
a son Joel who had a son Brookins (Miller) Carley who married a Lydia
Ann
Ellis. He died in 1859 in Middleton, NY. There was another Brookins
Carley,
born about the same time to a son or grandson of Abraham Carley's
nephew
Abraham
- a namesake son of Albert Carley who was a nephew of the first
Abraham.
This
Brookins was married to a Rachel Bennett and lived in Schoharie, NY,
where he
died in 1853.
If you can do a search on Brookins through the
Ancestry.com program or
google
through the name Brookins and/or Carley, you may find some clues.
The
Brookins family is also aligned with the Gray family and the Sherwoods
and the
Meakers/Meekers among thousands of others, and I would bet that since
the
names of
those allied turn up in the places you are looking, there is a
connection
to
this branch of the family.
Good luck in your search.
