I have done some research on the Tooley, Tuley, Tully family in Amherst County, VA. I'm an indirect relative. Amherst Co. was formed in 1761 from Albemarle Co. Charles and James Tuley had property in Amherst Co. at the time it was formed. James and Elizabeth Tuley sell land in 1786 in Amherst Co. which they had received by patent in 1747. This may be the same James who appears on land records as James Tuley Sr. & Judey in 1773 and James & Judy C. Tuley in 1779 where in both cases it says “of Albemarle Co. VA.” Elizabeth Tooley widow of Charles Tooley in 1800 releases rights of 100 acres to John Tooley son & heir of Charles Tooley. The following comes from a land record index, (I believe I changed the spelling on some of these for my own convenience.) Year Name Book Page 1762 Tuley, James A 41 1763 Tuley, James A 116 1771 Tuley, James C 394 1772 Tuley, Charles C 392 1772 Tuley, James C 448 1772 Tuley, John C 267 1773 Tuley, James D 62 1774 Tuley, James D 217 1775 Tuley, John D 256 1776 Tuley, Charles C 434 (could be book D) 1776 Tuley, John D 359 1777 Tuley, John D 417 1779 Tuley, James E 204 1786 Tuley, James F 177 1791 Tuley, John F 619 1798 Tuley, William H 450 1800 Tuley, John I 222 (This is the son of Charles) Also of interest are the Tax Records which start in 1782. Elizabeth Tooley appears on these records in 1782, 1784, & 1786. My guess is that Charles had already passed away as he never appears on any Tax records. Elizabeth has 1 slave, horses and cattle. James Tooley is in the 1783, 1785 and 1786 Tax records with slaves, horses, and cattle. 1786 is when he sells his land in Amherst Co. and then we hear nothing more of him. John Tooley Sr. is in the Tax records from 1783 thru 1798. John Tooley Jr. (who later becomes Sr.) is in the tax records from 1782 thru 1818. The next John Jr. is in the Tax records in 1805 only. Also in 1805 appears Tandy Tooley who stays until 1826. Tandy's son John md. Nancy Hogue my 2nd great grandaunt. I hope this may be helpful. Gary W.
