David, I'm truely sorry that I have not kept records of who and whom I have talked to over the years and a copy of that conversation. I'm at a lost as to when I have emailed you. Would like to talk more as we are definitely cousins. I'm sure the story of Abraham murder came from my grandmother Charlotte Petty who got the stories from her mother Charlotte Ray/Devine/Ghormley. Very recently my cousin and myself finished a biography she wrote of the the family that I discovered in my mother's effects after her death in 2004. We are just about to put it into a book form that Kinko's will print up for us. My email is smace@wowway.com if you would like to disscuss more with me. Love to talk! Sherman

Well cousin, I don't think I have the pages of the manuscript, but I did find much of the same information in the 1922 Tennessee State Civil War Survivors questionaire answered by Wiliam G Ghormley. It may be the source of the manuscript of which you write. He was blind at the time, so someone may have kept a copy of the answers he gave, or transcribed them later, giving rise to the manuscript. It runs some 42 questions, and covers his life before and after the Civil War. The last question is where the genealogy comes from as I remember.

I do come through most of the same line:
James (before 1733 Ireland)
Hugh (2 Mar 1733 Tyrone, Ireland)
Abraham (26 Dec 1758 Omagh, Tyrone, Ireland)
Pleasant Miller G.(7 Mar 1804 Chillicothe, Ross Co. Ohio)
William Green G.(10 May 1841 Jalapa, Monroe Co. Tennessee)
Benjamin Finley G. (6 Apr 1873 Tellico Plains, Monroe Co. Tennessee)
Edith Irene G. (15 Jun 1899 Hilleview, Ill. My grandmother)

I do have a copy of the Pearl Ghormley book "Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow" so lookups can be done. Brunner Land in Tellico Plains back in the 1970's(?) told me of the story of his Abrahams murder as well.

Now that I think about it again, there is another manuscript running around about Bucky Hunt and the settling of the Tellico Plains area. I'll see if I can relocate it (we moved recently and have about 100 boxes still to open).

Hope this has been of use.

I went back and looked and mine comes through Abraham. He became wealthy and in his old age it is believed he was murdered for some jewelry he went to buy in Penn. There is another book put out by Pearl Ghormley. My grandmother contributed to both of these books. I found one on amazon, but they found out it was in demand and asked a very high price.

So glad to hear from you,but there is a misunderstanding. I have a handwritten manuscript on the Ghormley line that was written in the 30's by a Narin Ghormley and given to my grandmother. Its a long story but the first 5 or 6 pages are missing from the beginning. Narin had a daughter and I'm hoping to find those missing pages. I have put my copy into a type form,and I have made it available to interested Ghormleys. It is probably I who can help you! If you would like to contact me my email is smace@wowway.com. I will tell you more and would love to hear what you have. I also have a number of pictures of Ghormleys. SHERMAN

Ammon McKinley (1887-1947) was married to William Isaac Ghormley (1881-1957). Miriam Ghormley was one of their four children. Their other children were William Isaac (1917-1917), Jesse W (1924-?) and Norma (1922-?).

Hello. Although I do not know of the manuscript that you mentioned, I do know of Hugh Ghormley I (1733-1813). He is my 6th great-grandfather. I would be happy to share any of the Ghormley information that I have with you. My decent-line goes through his son Thomas Ghormley (1766-1840). If there is any information that I can help you with, please let me know.

Hi Dennis,
I hope you can help me. I read your messages from a Linda. (I believe Brown)She menstioned a book written by a woman named Pearl. I would love to contact this lady both because we are related and because she has knowledge of Pearl G. Ingle's manuscript on the Ghormley's.

I feel I just hit the jackpot! Narin Ghormley wrote a manuscript on the Ghormleys. Her and Pearl work together on it. My grandmother Charlotte Ghormley Petty contributed many stories to it. I have the original Narin manuscript that I copied and made into a book. I would love to hear aout Pearl's book. I have been offering a copy of Narin's on a memory stick but have had no takers so far. Please call or email me as I would love to hear about Pearl's book. The first 4 or 5 pages of Narin's is missing and I know there has to be another copy out there some where. My phone is 586 772 7513, e mail smace@wowway.com Sherman

James was your oldest grandfather in Ireland. Hugh came across in 1759 landed in cape cod. Your next grandfather was 5 months old at the time. His name was Abraham. His son was Micael and his son was William. Naomi married Charles Dwight 7/15/1933 and they had a son Charles Maurice 4/28/34. Narin Ghormley wrote a very good history of the Ghormley's. A cousin of hers also wrote one her name was Pearl Ghormley (Ingle) Do you know anything about them. I can furnish you with a copy of the manuscript smace@wowway.com She may remember Narin or my Gr mother Charlotte Petty. Would love to hear from you. Sherman

sherman107 — 2008-03-18 06:12:39Z

I have a manuscript that was done on the Ghormley line starting with Hugh Ghormley 1733/1813, who settled in Pa. It was done in the 1930's by Narin Ghormley and is remarkable for the work she did without the aid of a computer. The first 4 or 5 pages are missing. I am looking for them plus any thing of interest on the Ghormley's. If you want a free copy I will give you one. You must mail me a empty memory stick with a self address return package and postage attached to it.(If you have something I can copy of interest you could put that on it. smace@wowway.com Sherman

Sorry, But Gould Vanderbuilt Ghormley's Fathers name was Willard Ashby Ghormley. Willard C. Ghormley was from the next generation. I have been researching this particular line for the last 2 years, and recently was accepted in the Daughters of the American Revolution throught James Ghormley. So I have varified this information and it has been verified beyond me.

My grandmother, Eleanor (Eldredge) Dodge, just passed away in Nov. My mom, Judy, found several old photo albums which we didn't know existed. I have a couple of photos from the early 1940's which are of a toddler named Danny Ghromley. He has beautiful blonde hair and in one picture, he's sitting on a big German Shepard dog. I would like to find someone who would know who or where he is. I would like to find out if he was family or friend. He would be 64 or so.

Denis,

I am not ignoring your last message to me. I went to Oklahoma the week before Memorial Day and came back the week after. I was in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, but my best friend is very ill so I did not get to the cemetary except to take flowers for my parents and grandparents. Since you gave me your home telephone number, I will try to call you later this week. Have you had any luck in finding anything new? Is Naomi's husband buried in Pasadena or in Oklahoma? For some reason, I was thinking that he was buried near Tahlequah, Oklahoma.
