My grandfather was Raymond Pauley……
Who was the son of Arl Pauley…….
Grandson of Overton Pauley…….
Great Grandson of Coleman Pauley……..
These men are descended from David (Polly) Pauley and Agnes Adkins-Pauley.
From what I have found, Agnes is the grand-daughter of (Mary?) Blue Sky Cornstalk.
Mahoney Pauley is the son of Henry Pauley, the son of Agnes Adkins-Pauley. His grave is the first/oldest grave in the Pauley family cemetery near Alum Creek, WV.
I have been digging for years to uncover the history of my family. Specifically the Pauley family. I have been able to trace the paternal line all the way back to England in the 1400s…….. The first Pauley/Polly in the USA was a Royal Fence Inspector in England and then was given land in Massachusetts.
It makes sense to me that the granddaughter of a Chief would marry the grandson of a man known to be a royal appointed representative of the English crown…….
I would love to find someone to substantiate everything I have found…..
