I have Samuel HEADLEY b 1802/1807 either in PA or VA (this information comes from the Census so I don't know which one is correct or if either is correct). I don't know who his parents were or when he died. I believe he died in Fulton Co, IL. He mar Rachel SCOTT b 1802/1805 in PA. The only child I know of is my 2g-grandfather John Barret HEADLEY b 5 June 1842 in VA/WVA and died 25 April 1917 in NE. John Barret mar Sarilda S. MAHANNAH August 1862 in Canton, Fulton Co, IL. Apparently the males in my HEADLEY line disliked their given names and used nicknames. John and Sarilda's children were Meridith (went by the name of Dan), Benton Eugene (went by the name of Jake), Andrew Jackson (went by the name of Jay), a son who died at age 3 went by Dockey and I doubt that was his given name, William, Rachel Ann and Mary Elizabeth. Meridith (Dan) HEADLEY said that his father also went by the name of Dan. True or not, I don't know. In the Fulton Co, IL, 1860 Census there was a Samuel HEADLEY living nearby. In the 1870 Census he is living next to John Barret who is living next door to his father Samuel. I am assuming this Samuel is related. Do any of these names appear in your line?
