Greetings, Pat, its been a while since we corresponded.... Yes, I did do a rather comprehensive study of the Izard Finleys a while back. There is lots of info about them online, the problem is in keeping the facts and sifting out the tradition, some of which may be fiction. One researcher has the Finleys traced traced back to Macboeda Macbeth Fionnladh Finlay, King of Scotland from 1040 to 1057, and the subject of William Shakespeare's 1606 play. I tend to disregard data like this since the research is subject to question, (but I did put it in my files just for fun.) Addressing your questions in order........ I have Vercy Ethyl Finley, born Jan 1903, dau of John William Finley and Martha "Mattie" Langston. She married James Arthur Green.,b. 1899. Next, I have Louisa Anne Brewster married to Isaac "Snapper Finley, both born about 1867. I don't show her married married to a Wilson The Sharp County couple is Frances "Fannie" Finley, d/o William Norris Finley and Sarah Ann Boles (Bales?), She married John W. Blevins on 30 April 1893 in Izard County. I don't have a list of their children but can probably get it from Ancestry. Most of the Izard Finleys come from Isaac L. Finley and Hila L. Martin, both born around 1800. I was Baptized in "Finley Creek" , by the Church and cemetery, but there's still a lot I don't know about them! If you have other specific questions, just let me know........Harold B. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Pat Foster" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 03, 2012 9:59 PM To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Subject: [ARIZARD] Finleys?
