Lewis,
Do You know when the Pelley family emigrated to the panhandle of West Virginia?I have just begun some genealogical research and only know my great-great grandfather was Henry Pelley born in the mid 19th century either in Marshall or Ohio County, WV.His son was Edward Cuthbert Pelley (my great grandfather)and my brother and I thought we were the only descendents of him to carry on the name and my grandparents thought we were of English ancestry, but even that is unvarified.If we are descended from the Richard Pelly you mentioned in your first posting what can you tell us of him?Was he English, did he have a trade?Where was he from in England?Why are there two spellings and is there any significance in whether there are one or two e's in the name.Wow I have so much to learn and anything you can shed on this would be helpful
Arch Pelley
