Anchors no forum, Dorsey, Taylor, Chandler, Snow-Snowden, so many more
Hi Everyone,
Have you tried searching Anchors, wife of Charles Dorsey, there is no forum.Many of you may have already figured this out.
Then I tried to find Akens, try Akins, Ankers, etc.Took me so long to find this and didn't do it alone.
I have tried to find Chandler connected to my lines for years and perhaps some of you can help me from here.I knew or figured there had to be connections in my Woolley line or somewhere as that is the middle name of my gg-grandfather and we know how middle names often times reflect mothers or grandmothers maiden names or distant connections when there have been women marry and change their names.
My first find is a Chandler, Taylor connection.I know Anchors that married Dorsey had Taylor in her line, including Snowden or Snow aka's.Also am finding many other connections of surnames, but haven't put them all together at this time.
It's beginning to look as though my Woolley may have been Wiley or Willey at one time, including the Jenny Wiley of fame that her children were lost in a cave from an Indian attack. It has been told me she had 5 more children after she survided that attack.I have yet to prove any of them could be a connection to me.Jean or Jenny Sellars married a Wiley.Chandler also connects to this line.
Another surname from the many my Mom gave me connected to Chandler is Castle or Hardcastle.I did find a Castle, Chandler connection I have yet to search.Cox being another surname connected to Wiley as is Green, Kilgore, Walker, Bundy, Sparks, Wheeler, Bailey, Simmons, Delano, Buck, Smith, House, Wood, Hill, Allen, Alden, and Briggs.
To Akins, aka's, I have found Sherman, and especially Elizabeth Woolley m Akens in about 1748.I have about 5 Wooley, Woolley, Wiley, Willey lines I am trying to connect.
In no way am I saying I found all this alone, merely putting a puzzle together from other posts with the surnames I know to have been in my lines from the hundreds my Mom gave me.
I would love all the help I can get to figure these in some order.
Please refer to this message should you email me direct.
