I am interested in any mention of the surname Haley in Hancock County before 1857.Some of the many variations of the spelling are Hayle, Hayley,Hally Halley, Haile and so on. My John Haley was born in 1836 , place unknown, and married Sarah Burk, daughter of James Burk (per 1850 Hancock Co census) in Claiborne County in 1857.Little is known of John, so the only place I know left to look is to see what other Haley families may have been in the area prior to his marriage, Any clue would be most appreciated. Thanks. digging for Haley* Burke* Goin*too. http://home.bellsouth.net/P/PWP-tnhaley
