GILLEY is not a familiar name in Jefferson County so maybe this search belongs somewhere else. If the name was GILL or GILLIS it would be and entirely different matter. The famous entertainer Mickey GILLEY who had the night club with the mechanical bulls in Pasadena, Texas near Houston and now has a club in Branson, Missoui had roots in Ferriday, LA and was a cousin to Jimmy Swaggart the crying theologian, and Jerry Lee Lewis the musician who was more famous for his exploits with other cousins. Wonder if these are some of the connections your looking for? Try the following for starters: http://www.sec.state.la.us/museums/delta/delta-mickey.htm Indeed Hollandale is in Washington County on Highway 61 south of Leland.
