Samuel Finley and his family migrated from Scotland west to Ireland, where they apprently lived in Carrickfergus Island. Samuel,his sons Matthew and James Finley, and three sisters (Elizabeth, Maryand Unknown)migrated to the United States (colonies) about 1775. After the Revolutionary war, Matthew settled in Oglethorpe Co and James not far away. Mathew, my ditrect ancestor, moved around and eventually settled in Oxford, GA. Then the family moved to Talladaga Co., Alabama, then to Texas.
Jmes married and they had 12 children.
It wouldn't surprise me if we are related somewhere back. Worlds of Scottish people moved to Ireland, wher they could eventually sail to teh new lands. It's probable that Samuel Finley was associated with the Clan Farquharson of Balmoral. I have lots of Irish and Scottish background on the Finley name but don't have any hard info before Matthew Finley.
