Dear Betty (with a copy to the Headley list), I don't have anything on your Samuel Headley, but maybe I can offer some clues on where to look. Since his birthplace is alternately given as VA and PA, and he had a child born in (W)VA, this suggests to me that he lived in the southwestern corner of PA. This area was claimed by both PA and what was then VA (now WV) right around the time your Samuel was born, so that could explain the reference to both PA and VA as his birthplace. You might look for Samuel and his family in one of the "border counties" in this area, namely Greene or Washington County, PA, or Monongalia County, (W)VA; there were many Headleys (and Scotts) in these locations at that time. Hope this helps...good luck!
