I'm at a loss at where to begin, so let's begin with what I know (which ain't much). My g-g-grandfather John Daniel Brownley was born 9\21\1844 in Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio, "of Scotch parents." He moved with his parents to Logan County, Ohio in 1848. He married Mary F. Rea 3\22\1866. They moved to Carroll County, Missouri in 1869 and settled around Mandeville. Reared eight children. Wife died 2\20\1912. He moved to Wichita, KS for 3 years, then Franklin, TN until he moved to College Place, WA in 1918. Married Mrs. Georgina V. Reader 6\22\1919, and she died in 1931. He died in College Place, WA 10\15\1938. A Civil War veteran, he was a member of Company K 57 Ohio V.V.F., enlisting on 11\13 1861. Was captured in Atlanta 7\22\1864. A brother Alex was taken prisoner at the same time. Both sent to Andersonville, GA prison camp. Was released in a prisoner exchange 9\21\1864. Was discharged in Little Rock, AR 8\11\1865. Attended the 54th National Emcampment of the Union Ex-Prisoners of War in Indianapolis in 1920 and Attended the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg in June\July 1938. Before this becomes too long-winded, My problem is I've reached back as far as my resources can go. Mrs. Rudolph's e-mail was lake a light in the night. There are a couple of sources here in Carrolton, MO which show the last name to be "lee" but virtually everything else is "ley" My hope is someone will be able to connect the Ohio date of birth and location to one of their family. I've ranted on long enough, but it is so exciting to actually find other Brownley's out there, because there are precious few here in Carroll County.
