Sorry about that. Robert Halley was born May 14, 1823 in Macon, Bibb Co., Ga. He married Lydia Anderson Ederington on Aug 16 1849 in Lenark, Bradley Co., Arkansas. They had 8 children, most of them did not marry.. Robert died Oct 5, 1875 in Salado, Bell Co., Tx. His wife moved to Dallas Tx and lived with her daughter, Mimmie Lydia Smith, where she died on Dec 7, 1927. I had copies of his service record when he was in the Mexican War and I have Lydia's pension application regarding Robert. Apparently, in Salado, there is a Bed & Breakfast type house that is called the Halley house. This was his house back in the day. What I am looking for is if any one has pictures of him and Lydia. Also any other type of information that I can obtain. I am also looking for someone to take a photograph of his grave site in Salado (I do not have the name of the cemetery at time of writing, but can obtain quickly.) I would also like to corespond with anyone else who is related. Also, I have another relative that resided in Salado, John Boyd (Burton) Harrell. He was married to Sara Jane Ederington, sister to Lydia Halley, on Apr 28, 1874. I do not know when or where he died. I presume he died in Salado, but I have not been able to find the connection. Sara died June 5, 1896 in Florence, Williamson Co., Tx. The Harrell's and Robert Halley, were neighbors in Ga before they moved to Texas. I am looking for pictures or any other information on these people. Thank you again, Chad Harrell Yeager >From: "Joe D.
