Hello Everyone, First thing, I'd like to thank all of those who responded to my questions regarding the Whiteley family. The response was great! >From what I've learned (some things are documented, some not), William Whiteley (Whitley) and Anthony were brothers. The following is some of what I now have in my records: Arthur WHITELEY (emigrant from England) died in Dorchester Co, MD. His will was dated: Jan. 20, 1729, probated March 12, 1735.... he had (among others) ... Abraham Bing WHITELEY, b: abt. 1714, d: 1775, Easton, Talbot Co, MD (wife: Elizabeth ?) Their children were: Ann E., b: abt. 1750 Elizabeth, b: abt. 1752 Abraham Bing, Jr. b: abt. 1754 WILLIAM, b: abt. 1756, Caroline Co, MD; d: Aug. 15, 1816, md: Delitha (Tabitha?) ? ANTHONY, b: abt. 1758, Federalsburg, Caroline Co, MD; d: Dec. 13, 1823. Elizabeth, 1765-1839 <the Elizabeth, b: abt. 1752 must have died young?> Two of the Tests. for Arthur Whiteley's will were Arthur SMITH and Richard MANNING. We are fairly certain that Margaret ANDERSON (d: 1745) who was married 1) Arthur Smith; 2) Richard Manning was the sister of Thomas ANDERSON who was father of James & William ANDERSON (among others), Nicolites. So far, I've not been able to find a family connection between any of these people. Thanks, again, everyone. Marsha IL
