    1. Re: [NYDELAWA] Jonathan Carley, Jr - Sidney
    2. There is Federal Census information for the State of Illinois in 1860, town of Loraine, Henry County, for a Jonathan Carley, b 1784, NY and wife Eliza, b. 1786, NY and another listing directly above his for a William Carley, b. 1829, NY and wife Susan, b. 1830 in IL. We believe this Jonathan to be the son of Jonathan and Jenny Gray Carley, the couple who settled in Sidney in 1796, (William's children in his second marriage noted in the Census of 1870 mentions a daughter Jenny) --- but-- there is supposedly a DAR War of 1812 marker placed on the grave of a Jonathan Carley buried in Sidney which could not have been for Jonathan, Sr, as he was so badly wounded during the Rev War that he was unable to serve in later call-outs for that War, and consequently would also have been unable to serve in the War of 1812, asking the question --- Who is the Jonathan with the marker -- if it is Jonathan, Jr, was he brought back from IL to be buried in Sidney? -- is this a wrongly designated marker for Jonathan, Sr, who should have a Rev War marker? --- or is the marker merely a commemorative for Jonathan, Jr, who may be buried in IL? Also, does anyone know who the Eliza, wife of Jonathan, Jr., might have been? Thanks for any input - Judy Schreiber Valdosta, GA
