Hi all,
My Jolly line includes father and son 'Peter Jolly' in Pitt County NC in the second half of the 18th C.In early 1800's son Peter moved to Jones Co. GA.By 1830 he family were in Perry & Greene Co. Alabama.
Unfortunately, I have only the direct male line and their spouses, and a little bit of
sibling data.
Mary Henke told me that there was a "stone wall" before Pitt Co. because the courthouse there burned down.Some people think the family came from south eastern Virginia.
I suspect there are more relations in these various Joll(e)y's than is recognized.
