Her Siblings that I found on a reservation census were Willie Wilson, Annie Finley and Sam Coffee. Minnie was born june 1878-1879. Died in Buffalo County S.D. Mar 15 1936. Any farther info on her parents and family would be great!!

John and Margaret (Finley) Miller

ker17moh — 19 Oct 2008 11:50:51 GMT

I am looking for information on John Miller who married Margaret Finley. He was from Ohio Co, VA and died there during the 1830's. He was born about 1790.

John and Margaret (Finley) Miller had 3 children:
Samuel Finley Miller (1834-1834)
Mary Eleanor Miller (1835-1920) m. Thomas Maxwell
Margaret Ann Miller (1836-1908) m. James Wishart

In a letter than I have from Rev. John Miller Wishart, D.D. (who did a great amount of research on the Finley family) dated 1936 talks about the Maxwell family that has 'Grandmother Miller's Bible'. I would like to find the Bible and their descendants.

I have a large amount of information on the Finley and the Wishart families, but nothing about John Miller.

Is anyone able to help me with this? I collect all kinds of information. Birth, marriage, death, deeds, Bible records, newspapers, anything.

Trying to find identity of a woman in an undated wedding photo. Photo taken by "Bates" Norfolk, Ne., I'm guessing about 1900. Hand notation on picture says Buford Finley so I assume her surname is Buford and groom name is Finley. Could be the other way around. I have Finleys in my family but can't make a connection.

CHRISALAPHER — 20 Nov 2007 3:28:03 GMT

Greetings, I am looking for information regarding an Isaac Finley, son of Richard Finley, who was born abt. 1843 and lived in Scott County MO. Specifically, I am interested in information regarding his marriage to a Sarah Arminda Greig about 1864. Rootsweb has a database which mentions this marriage. I have a Sarah Arminda Grigg in my database; she was born in Georgia and then moved to Alabama and was last seen in the 1930 Scott County census. Her parents and some siblings lived in Scott County as well by 1870. One of her brothers, Francis Asberry Grigg(s), had a daughter named Althea. She is mentioned in the marriage records of Scott County (Altha Griggs) as marrying an Albert Evans; and the records state that her Uncle I.N. Finley was present at the wedding. If any of you folks have any information about this Isaac Finley and Sarah Arminda Greig, I would greatly appreciate your sharing it with me.

John FINLEY was born in Canada, March 9, 1853, died January 17, 1914, and was 60 years, 10 months and 8 days old.
Mr FINLEY removed with his parents from Canada in the spring 1870, coming to Washington county, Kansas and locating in the Spring Valley neighborhood, and continued to live in the same neighborhood until about six years ago, when he moved to Barnes.
Mr FINLEY was converted and united with the M E Church at the age of 14 years and lived a consistent Christian life. The night before his death, he took a hymn book and san from it a long time and marked several hymns that he wanted sung at his funeral, evidently knowing that the end must be near.
Mr FINLEY leaves a family of a wife, seven children living (three dead), twenty grandchildren, a brother and four sisters, and a host of friends to mourn his loss.
Funeral services were conducted at the M E church by Rev CRIPPEN on Saturday forenoon and the remains were laid to rest in the Spring Valley cemetery.

F B DICKEY and family, E R FINLEY and family R C FINLEY and family, Mr and Mrs John McFADDEN, Mrs John NORRIS, and Mrs Irvin HOGUE and daughter, Mildred, were at Barnes Saturday attending the funeral of John FINLEY

He married 22 Jan 1889 in Little River Co. AR. His father's name was John Singleton "Jack" Finley, married to Sarah J. Cooper in AL. J.S. Finley is listed as born in either GA or SC in 1840. I can not find the pedigree for either of these people. If any one knows this info, I would really appreciate the help.

Looking for Kelly Finley

Barb Ragucci — 10 Sep 2006 12:33:05 GMT

I am trying to find out when and where Kelly Finley died. He was born June 9, 1885, according to his draft registration (which isn't very clear), though I have also seen 1886 as his year of birth. He is in the 1920 census in Cambridge Township, his mother is living with him, she is listed as Saunde according to the Ancestry transcription, though it looks like Lavada to me. I think it is supposed to be Nevada. He is also listed in the city directory in 1922. I can't find him after that. I have checked the 1930 census and the Ohio Death Index on Ancestry Library Edition.

William O. Finley from Pennsylvania and his wife Rebecca Wendell were early settlers in Beaver Twp., Guernsey (now Noble) County, Ohio. According to Wolfe's "History of Guernsey County", William was the father of eleven children, and the original town of Williamsburg (now Batesville, Ohio) was named for him, since it was founded on his property. I'm a Wendell descendant and would love to discover who those eleven children were, and learn about their descendants. I have lots of Wendell genealogy to share.

Arthur J. Middleton/KY/Daughter

Norma Baron — 16 Jun 2006 10:07:05 GMT

Hello,

I'm looking for information on Arthur J. Middelton's daughter. He was Born in 1908 (LaRue Co.) and died 1965 in Louisville, KY.

His parents were Earl and Shirley Middleton. Siblings were Mary, Chester, and Maude.

I am trying to find his first wife's family and daughter. Because of circumstances out of anyone's control, his wife's illness kept him from being with his daughter. I believe his wife's family raised the daughter.

Eventually, laws changed in KY and he was able to divorce his 1st wife and marry my aunt. Catherine (Katy Baron) Middleton.

Art died 1 yr. after their marriage and my aunt moved back to IL.

Art's daughter came to visit my aunt in IL and received a poor reception. When my aunt died, we kept some of Art's personal things. We have recently found a niece and will probably give them to her if we can not find the daughter.

I have seen an Arthur Middelton on some websites with Osley, Middelton etc. But, the emails have come back when I sent them.

Can anyone help me find his daughter.
Thank you.

Finley 1840 Census index is wrong

ALVAREZ202 — 23 Apr 2006 8:13:18 GMT

Ancestry's census indexes for 1840 are wrong for Gasconade & Greene Counties in Missouri. I haven't checked all names but John & James Finley are listed as being in Greene Co. They are NOT. They are in Gasconade Co., MO. Isaac Finley is listed as being in Gasconade Co., he is actually in Greene Co. MO. I believe the entire counties are wrong. I have repeatedly, for at least two years, asked them to correct this, but they don't. Don't trust any of Ancestry's indexes until you verify with a second source. I have found MANY mistakes like this. The indexes are hit and miss. Hope this saves someone a bunch of headaches.

Rev. James B. Finley

bike2work — 31 Mar 2006 12:34:33 GMT

Hello, Nancy ...

And thanks for your email reminder about this post. Rev. James Bradley Finley was the fourth great grandfather of my sister, Gay Ellen Egetter Hanlon and me.

The lineage travels mostly through maternal lines, and thus the surname is not constant. But here is the basic outline:

James Bradley Finley and Hanna Martha Strain ...

Their daughter, Eliza Hughey Finley and John Carrington Brooke ...

Their son, William McKendree Brooke and Ellen Elizabeth Austin Hoffman ...

Their daughter, Naomi Clifford Brooke and George Henry Pinney ...

Their daughter, Ellen Brooke Pinney and Stillman Augustus Pease ...

Their daughter (our mother) Grace Clifford Pease and (our father) Charles Joseph Egetter.

To all who wish more detail on these ancestors, we would be happy to share the private family record (and pictures) with all. It is a considerable body of information.

And if there are no other claimants to Rev. Finley's autobiography, we would be pleased to receive it from you.

Just let me know! Thanks ...

Linda,
I am Bob Finley and have been looking for the parents of my ggg grand farther James Finley.Had several good leads but never could confirm. Then one day not too long ago a new email friend who is researching the same name sent me data outlining my ancestors back to Robert and Catherine Wilkes Finley. they had several children two of which was my James and his brother John. Thru a power of attorney made in Madison, Ky. Dr Johnson ( researcher for some 30 years of the Finleys of N.C. and Ga. proves that John Finley is the farther of Robert Wilkes Finley. Robert Wilkes Finley is the farther of Rev. James Bradley Finley.
I have lots of data about Robert & James Bradley including James autobiography and Dr J Wayne Johnson book titled Finley Family History.
According to Dr. Johnson I am in James Bradley Finley's line. Thanks,
