I did some research in the Virginia Historical Index and discovered the following entries and subjects pertaining to them: 7C451 (Page 451 of the 7th volume of Calendar of Virginia State Papers which would cover the period from January 1, 1794 to May 16, 1795 mentions a Caleb Friley 8C356 (Page 356 of the 89th volume of Calendar of Virginia State Papers which would cover the period from May 16, 1795 to December 31, 1798 mentions: "Mr. Friley, scout" 36V84-86 (Pages 84 through 86 of the 36th volume of the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography (1928) mentions the following: Benjamin Fraley, Catherine Shoemaker Fraley, Will of Chloe Fraley, Donahoe Fraley, Frederick Fraley, Henry Fraley, Isaac Fraley, James Fraley, Judith Fraley, Nancy Fraley, Reuben Fraley, Sarah Fraley, Taber Fraley, William Fraley, John Jones, Alexander Shoemaker, Catherine Shoemaker, Elizabeth Shoemaker, Will of James Shoemaker, Jane Shoemaker, Joseph Shoemaker, Judith Shoemaker and Sarah Shoemaker. There may be mention of other Jones family members in this article but I would have to search through the entire 10 pages chocked full of Jones to find mention of this one article. I'll see about that in the future. 37V72-73 (Pages 72 and 73 of the 37th volume of the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography (1929) mentions the following: Boon Fraley, Henry Fraley, Hugh Fraley, James Fraley, Mary Fraley, Benjamin Shoemaker, Jemima Shoemaker, Leonard Shoemaker, Lucky Puckett Shoemaker, Nancy Shoemaker, Daniel Puckett, Drury (Drewry) Puckett, George Puckett, James Puckett, Jane Puckett, John Puckett, Lucy Puckett, Nancy Puckett, Phebe Puckett, Rebecca Puckett, Robert Puckett, Sally Puckett, Samuel Puckett, William Puckett It might be worthwhile to find copies of these articles. Looks like these families are very likely related in colonial Virginia. Barry Jernigan
