Dear Hayes, Welcome to the list! I am researching a large Colley family that married into three of the families that you mentioned in your posting. These Colleys lived right on the border of Christian and Caldwell Counties. Later, a number of them moved into Graves County. Hosea Newsom Mitchell, son of Cader Mitchell, married Martha Ann Colley, daughter of William Colley, in 1856. Young C. Newsom, son of Martha Newsom, married Mary Jane Sizemore Colley, daughter of William and Unity Sizemore, in 1856. And John D. Irvin, who died in 1884, named William T. P'Pool in his will as his best friend. It is thought that this William T. P'Pool may have been married to a Lydia Colley, alleged sister of Susan Jane Colley, the wife of John D. Irvin, above. What a tangled web! If you have any information about any of these individuals or if you would like more information from me concerning any of these connections, I'll be happy to exchange information with you.
