• 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] Will of Thomas Farley: I first leave to my son John Farley the plantation where I now live, and he the said John Farley is to pay my son Andrew Farley Fifty Pounds old way in Gales at ten pounds per year until the fifty pounds is paid. I likewise leave to my beloved wife the third part of the said plantation during her natural life and all the moveables to be divided at her decease according to her own discretion. Also I leave unto my son David Farley, five shillings in Silver. I also leave unto my daughter Mary Farley her bed furniture and one red cow, and yearling heifer or steer. Likewise I leave unto my daughters Margaret and Eliner Two shillings and sixpence to each of them. Okey Johnson and William Blackburn were named executors. Thomas signed the will with his mark. An inventory of the estate was approved 9 August 1782 by John Jones, John Pearsall, and Nathaniel Parker. It was recorded 12 November 1782. It consisted of: One gray Stallion One brindled cow and calf One bell & bell Collar One black yealring One iron pot One pair of pot hooks One loom and tackling One table One chest One trunk One pair of hillyards One saw and drawing knife One auger, chisel and scythe anvil One dung fork Two maulrings, wedges, and ax One bake iron Two small dishes and four plates Two old scythes and two old hoes One tea kettle and one spoon One hatchet, lamp, and candlesticks One box iron One frying pan Three cups, 2 ____, 2 pails, one churn One small grinding stone and crank One ____ and chain These items had a total value of 19 pounds, 2 shillings, and 6 pence. Two of his daughters, Sarah and Jean, were not mentioned in his will. They were already married and had been dowered. Hannah Farley who married Thomas Lawson is thought by some to have been a daughter of Thomas. Others do not believe so. FT. FARLEY Situated on New River at what is known as "Warford," on Crump's Bottom, Summers County. Erected by Thomas Farley.
