Hi!
My name is Joy Kegley Stoots.
I am looking for information on the parentage of John George Kegley and his parent's heritage.
Even though he immigrated from Germany, the name "Kegley" originated in Ireland as far back as the ancient Druid period.The original name was O'Coiglaugh, but somtime during the 15th and 16 th century the name changed to O'Coigley.There are still many O'Coigley's, O'Quigley's, and Kegley's in Counties Meath and Donegal in Ireland.
There were many reasons from famine to politics to religious persecution that resulted in the Irish moving across the European continent, possibly ending up in Germany, which was very prevalent during that time.
I am trying to determine if that is how our ancestors were in Germany and at what time and for what reason did they leave Ireland and go to Germany - - - if they did!
My ancestry from JOHN GEORGE and Catherine KEGLEY is:
through their son, CHRISTIAN KEGLEY,
his son, ABRAHAM KEGLEY,
his son, EPHRIAM KEGLEY,
his son, STEVEN MICHAEL KEGLEY,
his son, CLIFTON ORAL KEGLEY - Deceased 1964
(married Hattie Jo Moore deceased 1985 and had 8
children),
their oldest son, my father,FREDRICK NORRIS KEGLEY born 1927 died 1984.
Children:JOY KEGLEY STOOTS and STEPHEN J.KEGLEY
If you are interested in more detailed information on the children of STEVEN MICHAEL KEGLEY and CLIFTON ORAL KEGLEY, I have the information and will be glad to post it.
If anyone has any additional information on John George Kegley's parents and their heritage, I am very interested and would appreciate your sharing the information.
Thank You!
