Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.paisley/122/mb.ashx Message Board Post: This is an interesting search. I found Crocket Hector Paisley on a search for my Wallace descendants. To add to the mystery, my Margaret Wilson Wallace b1829, Scotland married James Patton b1817, Ireland. They lived in Goderich, Ontario, Canada. One of their children was Sarah Patton who married WILLIAM JOHN PAISLEY b1847, Smiths Falls, Ontario. Back to Crocket Hector Paisley, he was a lawyer and stayed in the town he was born. The earliest census has him in Richland, Story Iowa living with Elwood Furnas and his wife Elizabeth. They are farmers and no info on Crocket other than occupying space at that home. I found census following that gives Crockets father as Ben Posley b1850, Illinois (Pasley) & Mary E Graver. I was researching my Wallace line that started in Scotland/Goderich, Ont, Canada/Buchanan Iowa. A Wallace married a Little/Little married Gemmel/Gemmel married Paslay? Was this really a Paisley that was given up and the Wallace/Patton line was the connection? Any takers? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
