Dear People STill looking for Mitchell Handley b? married @1850-1851 to Rachel Cornell. They had one known child born to them,, Lucy. She married George Cook. If you have any info please write to me privately. Thank you Sharon in WI

Could you please tell us the source of finding Margaret's surname of Christie? That has been bugging some of us for sometime [thinking that was her maiden name, but not knowing how to prove it]. Thanks!

Hello Bill... yes it has been a while. My house is leaning toward the side where my genealogy files are stored, so I won't ask for the long-hand copy of John's will! I AM interested in whether the transcription is accurate. Seems to me there should be some misspelled words, and there seems to be too much punctuation for documents written in that time period. There should be capitalized words in the middle of sentences. I like an accurate transcription, regardless how illiterate it may appear. Those dear county clerks! They sat and wrote endlessly day after day. I certainly appreciate their contribution to our family research. I was sent two long-hand versions of William Handley's will from Monroe County Probate Court (son of John and Mary Harrison Handley). One copy is the original that was submitted by the family; the other is the copy entered into the court record by the clerk. My transcription came from the family's copy - the handwriting was much easier to read than the clerk's handwriting. Is anyone on the list researching William's son Samuel Handley (abt.1795-1855) who moved from Monroe Co. VA to Lawrence County, Ohio? I can post a transcription of his will to this list if anyone wants it... or you can view a pretty posting of it at The Lawrence Register website: http://www.wwd.net/users/historical/ Scroll down to and click on "Wills" on the left side of screen. On the next page, scroll down past the index to the alphabetical list of transcribed wills. Bev

About the Handley's in the Donner party, the first person to die on the trip was Sarah Handley Keyes who died while they were still in Kansas. Her daughter survived, though.

I'm not sure if this person is a Handley-L group member or not. If you have an answer, you might reply to both addresses, please. Nancy << Subj: Handley Date: 9/26/2000 3:44:44 PM Central Daylight Time From: Altaman80@aol.com To: HANDLEY-admin@rootsweb.com I am looking for information concerning the Handley's preceding my grandfather, Daniel L. Handley 1860-1922 who is buried in Shinglehouse Pa. I know nothing preceding him except my father told me once that four brothers had cane from Ireland together and had split up arriving in the USA. I surmise this was before the 1860's Anything you could give me would be appreciated. >>

Yes..... Bill, I want copies of pictures. I will send $5.00 to your address. As you know Mary Harrison Handley was my 4th Great Grandmother. Their daughter Mary Margaret Handley married my Samuel Clark, Rev war soldier. Do you want this in cash, my personal check or cashiers check? Can't wait to get them.... I guess I didn't know John Handley was buried in Green Hill in Union. We just put a stone on my Grandfather Pyne's grave in Green Hill. Ginny Fair in Topeka, Ks

Does anyone out there have any info on an Andrew J. Handley that was married to Winnie P. Woods. He was my gr-father. They had 2 daughters in which one was my mother, & had 5 boys. Names of these were Eluid Odis, Andrew Leroy, Joseph Earl, Howard Clyde, Rhoda Jane, and Alma Russell Handley. I know that they lived in Ohio, Illinois, and in TN. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Janie onerose@gte.net

Hi Bill, Are the pictures you are referring to sending for $5.00, actual prints or are they printed from software? Also, do you have any more information on Mary Harrison Handley's ancestry or anything more on her or Isaac while living in Guyandotte? I would be interested in the pictures from Guyandotte cemetery of Mary and Isaac's grave markers. Mary was supposedly killed by a team of runaway oxen on Isaac's farm, when trying to stop them and route them through a gate into the pen. Please let me know on the above.

THE PICTURES ARE THE ONES I TOOK WITH MY DIGITAL CAMERA AND PRINTED ON MY HP PRINTER 6-3/16" X 9-3/8" IN GREY SCALE, EXCELLENT QUALITY ON PLAIN PAPER. I THINK YOU WOULD BE SATISFIED WITH THEM , AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW BLACK AND WHITE WILL NOT FADE, AS FOR MARY HARRISON ALL I KNOW IS SHE WAS SUPPOSEDLY BORN AT BERKLEY PLANTATION NEAR WILLIAMSBURG VA AND SOME SAY SHE WAS MARRIED THERE. ISAAC AND KATE I HAVE NOTHING OTHER THAN ISAACS ANCESTERS. WISH I COULD BE MORE HELP BUT I'M STILL WORKING ON THEM.

I recently found pictures belonging to my great-grandmother, Kate Handley House (1867-1927), or maybe my gggrandmother, Elizabeth Jane Renick Handley (1824-1897) and need help finding cousins who might know who is in the pictures. Some of them were taken in Napa, CA (Eustace family of Lucy Handley); Marshall & Miami, MO; Staunton, VA (B. F. Renick); Lewisburg, WV (Harlow children); Waterville & Salinas, KS plus a tintype of a "Blackie" Frazier in Cullison, KS; Lexington, KY; Gardiner, Maine; plus various towns in Montana I have copies of letters written by Mrs. John Hendren Bell (nee Harlow) of Lexington, VA, about some of these pictures, so her decendents may have copies of the same. Sure would like to hear from someone who could give me any information. Thanks!
