Notes:

HISTORY: A tradition as mentioned by several of the lineage, says there were 3 Farley brothers who came from Ireland in 1740. Two of these may have been James and Thomas, but have not found any info to verify the connection, and have not been able to find who the 3rd bro was. James and Thomas may have had the same number of ch and maybe the same names, but I am of the opinion that Cousin Wm. H. Farley, late of Boise, Id has the RIGHT ch with the WRONG parents. Thomas and Jane lived in NC, went to York Co., Pa where they bought land on Patterson Creek in Hampshire Co., Virginia (now Mineral Co., W Va). This is where they lived until Thomas died in 1782. The 1771 Land Rec shows Thomas Farely living in York Co., Pa., at that time. Thomas served in the Rev Was as Private in Dunmore's War 1774, Virginia Militia. He is registered in the "Daughters of the American Colonist"; DAC # 17593. The first 6 ch are listed in his will. It has not been proven about the last 3. [Tom Morgan]
