Here is my earliest Jolley family. Historical references place Elijah's birth in Washington Co, AND Dauphin Co's, PA. He does NOT seem to match up with the 2 Elijah Jolley's that have ALREADY been researched in Washington Co, PA, according to Mary Henke. I hope that someone will recognize this gentleman and have some insight into his parentage. He left PA for Marion, OH abt 1832 and then lived out his life in Allen Co, OH. I do have current descendants, but none know anymore than I.
