Bob,
Sorry I haven't replied in a while. I was in England but, only for 10 months. I've since been through two countries and 3 moves, I'm now back in the U.S.
I didn't have time to much research while in England, sorry. I was able to verify that there is no John Chumley in the Rochester, England area....I found a record stating there was a John Chumley buried in the Rochester Cathedral, not true.
Reference your Chomondeley (1769 -1855); doesn't fit in my ancestrial line....I show my Chumley line in Virginia in 1760ish back to about 1740ish, then it gets fuzzy. Circumstantial evidence points to the Chumleys being in Virginia as early as 1728ish or possibly earlier.
The iron works factory you,or someone, references by Wales, are the Chumleys' connected to it specifically ? I thought the iron factory was located in London somewhere, and the Chumley line entered the U.S. via Georgia or one of the southern States.
My Dad and Aunt initially told me of the brothers, inclusive of a Baxter Chumley, who owned an iron works in England, migrating to the States via Virginia. Turns-out the story is partly true, except for the location of entry to the U.S.
Haven't found a connection between my John Chumley married Martha (Lockett) and the Chumbley/Chumleys of the South.
Sorry, I haven't been more diligent in returning my replies....computers and internet were "iffy" at my last location. Now it looks like I'll be moving again in the next few weeks; Kansas to Texas.
My daughter is still in England....Chatham area (Southeast, England). I've given here some information to verify/research. So far haven't found anything that shows Chumbley/Chumleys boarding a ship to the Colonies from England. There is a Robert Chomle that arrives in the U.S. about 1625ish with Miles Standish (?) on the ship Charitie. I'm told he may be our link to the Chumbleys/Chumleys of Virginia....still working that bit of information.
I'll try to keep everyone better informed on anything I find....for now I'm still chasing ancestry from Virginia to England.

Hi,
I think we may have a connection.
I am very new at this so please bear with me.
My Wm. Young Chumley went to DeKalb County, Alabama around 1835 and homesteaded 400 acres. He ahd 10 children, one was named Baxter. Baxter had a daughter named Betty Chumley(my great grandmother). Betty married David Smith, my great grandfather. They lived on Sand Mountain, Alabama. They had several children. My grandfather James Wesley Smith being one of them. He was born August 17, 1890-91. They had a daughter named Dovey, another son named Marion, another daughter named Nellie and I believe a couple of other sons.
My grandfather, James Wesley Smith married Della Pierce. They had two sons, my father, Thurston Paul Pierce Smith, born 3/17/1910, ( I do not know if he is still living). Their second son was born in 1911 or 1912. Della died while giving birth to him.
My grandfather later moved to Gadsden, Alabama, where he became a police officer and married Lulabell Cutchens. They
had two children, Betty Faye, born 1933, died 1938 and a son who is still living.
My grandfather James Wesley Smith died on November 1, 1971 and is buried in Forrest Cemetery, in Gadsden.
If you can add to any of this information, I will greatly appreciate it.
Many Thanks,
Mary Lou
