My Great Grandfather 6x John Bryan O’Connelly (1/1/1723-1795) came to PA from Galway, Ireland in 1743. He died in Burke, NC. His father was Michael John O’Connelly (1700-1733). His wife was Mary (Foley) Conley. They had six children and their birth record last names were “Connelly.” John Connelly (1757-1807) was one of their sons. His wife was Nancy Susannah (Ballew) Conley (1756-1851). Their son James L. later had his last name changed to “Conley.” He was married to Mary Elizabeth Sherrill. One of their children was John Wesley Conley (1813-1885). Robert Taylor Conley (1844-1892) was his son and my great grandfather 3x. He and several other Conleys fought for the confederacy during the civil war. He and a few others were in the “Conley Sharpshooters” unit. My great grandfather was Ernest S. Conley (1888-1956) and my grandfather was Edward L “Bair” Conley (1914-1973). Galway is a city in the province of Connacht in West Ireland. There were fourteen families who controlled the commercial, political and social life of the city from the mid 13th century through the late 19th century. One of those families were O’ Martin.

Hi I am Jamie CONLEY Caperton and I am trying to track down the lineage of my second great grandfather George Alfred Conley. We are told in family documents that he came from Burke Co. North Carolina and had relatives in Georgia but we are having a terrible time documenting him and his wife Arminta back any further than the birth of their children in Missouri and living in Arkansas. We would love to be able to clarify the lineage if possible

Hi, Trying to trace my Conley roots. My DNA says I am from North Connacht. Any ideas anyone? Thank you
