Classification: Query
Surnames: Wooley Brickley Hines
I'm great-grandson of Kline Brickey Wooley (b. 22-Feb-1892 in Young County, Texas). Kline's dad was Thomas Howard Wooley (b. 20-Apr-1845 in Cape Fair, Stone County, Missouri) who pioneered Parker Co. as a boy with his father, Elijah Myers Wooley (b. 20-Oct-1822 in Ohio County, Kentucky). Elijah was one of ten children by Levi Wooley, Sr. (b. 23-Mar-1789 also in Ohio County, Kentucky). Levi (Sr.)'s dad was William Levi Wooley.
"Elijah Myers Wooley owned three of the twenty wagons which left Missouri for Texas in 1849, when son Thomas Howard Wooley was four years old. Those three wagons led the caravan and were the only ones of the group which came as far west as Parker County. The remaining seventeen wagons stopped in East Texas, but E.M. Wooley pushed on toward the frontier, preempted land five miles south of Weatherford on Sanchez Creek, and built a house which was to become a Parker County landmark. People for miles around came to see the new dwelling, for it had pine floors and real glass windows -- the first glass windows in the whole county. Unlike the typical two-room cabin of that day, the Wooley house was a story and a half high, and the lumber and shingles for its construction were hauled from saw-mills in East Texas." (From: Holland, Gustavus Adolphus; "The History of Parker County and the Double Log Cabin;" Weatherford, Texas; Herald, 1931 & rpt. 1937; pp. 228-229)
Anyway, personal correspondence strongly suggests it was Kline who fathered my grandmother, Margaret Lee (Birth surname Hines?, b. 18-Apr-1919 in Paris, Lamar County, Texas) out-of-wedlock with Mae Katherine Hines (b. 31 May 1894 in Farmersville, Collin County, Texas). Kline and Mae eventually married in the 1960s, after their first spouses died!
Margaret's birth father was never discussed, probably oweing to the out-of-wedlock matter. I'm trying to establish Kline as her father. I've applied for her birth certificate, but would be interested in comparing DNA with any relevant offspring to establish fact. This would establish me as a Wooley by birth in 1919, rather than by marriage in the 1960s!
Oh, anything on Thomas Howard Wooley's wife, Mary Ann Brickley, would also be welcomed. All I know is she died in 1933.
