Joseph Lewis FINLEY b.1753 Chester,Pa (Pa IGI) Parents Michael FINLEY &
Agnes KENNEDY b.Ireland moved to Pa about 1734

It appears Joesph Lewis FINLEY (b.1753) moved to Adams,Ohio about 1807

1820 Lincoln Co,Tn shows a Joseph FINLEY
1830 Lincoln Co,Tn shows Joel FINLEY
1840 McNairy Co,Tn shows Joel FINLEY

John B.FINLEY (Pa/Ohio IGI says John Blair) is in 1850-1860 Census, Lewis,Ky
The 1850,1860 Ohio census did not show a John B.FINLEY. This is probably
is Joseph Lewis FINLEY (b.1753) son

There is a John FINLEY b.1792 Augusta,Va who is a son of David FINLEY of
Lincoln,NC (moved to Augusta,Va 1791). This John FINLEY married Nancy BARNES
or BROWN in either Va (LDS Film 0863977 'Finley's of Va')or Jefferson''Tn
(LDS IGI for Tn). This is the only John FINLEY I can find born around
1792-1793 in Va who was later in Tn.

There is another John FINLEY (Ky GI says John Blair FINLEY) b.Lewis,Ky 1783. Father
Joseph FINLEY b.1759 Kent,Md. Joseph's father George FINLEY 1723 Ireland.
'The Clan Finley' book says this John d.1837 Scott,Ky. LDS IGI says 1852,Ky

Joel FINLEY's second son was named Brice M. This Brice named a daughter Nancy.
The Susan BLAIR b.Pa 1798 parents were Brice BLAIR & Nancy McCOY.

The LDS web site shows a Joel D.FINLEY b. Chester,Pa 1859.

It appears the names Joel and Joseph were used interchangeably, like John and Jack.

1998 Notes
In the 1970's, John W.FINDLEY of Batesville,Ark corresponded with his cousin,our Grandmother
Mae FINDLEY of Essex,Mo.(originals in possession of Wayne A.Ragsdale, Birmingham,Al).John W.
had not found who Joel's parents were yet. He mentioned in one letter about a book. I had not
been able to find any more info on this or about him. In Sep 1998 I emailed
several FINLEY/FINDLEY's in Batesville. Cathy Finley Bufford (email
bufford@cei.net, Randall & Cathy)found info that John W. had died Nov.1991
and was buried at Lee's Chapel Cemetery. She gave me the names of his
daughters:
Annette Findley Cleveland,June Findley Wilson,Dannalee Findley Watkins. I wrote
Annette and Dannalee but have never received a reply.
In Nov 1998 I found a Preston W.BOLTON who had submitted Joel FINDLEY to WFT. I got his
address from Family Tree Maker:
9307 Saffron Hill Ct.
Manassas,Va 22110
He emailed back (email BOLTON_WOODY@prodigy.net). He was a descendant of Brice M.FINLEY, the
son of Joel & Susan. He had a copy of the book from about 1988. Following is one of the
pages in the book about the Findley family:
"Our common ancestor as far back as I have been able to trace is Joel Findley.
The first place I was able to locate him was Lincoln Co,Tenn in the year 1820.
At this time he was married and had two sons, both probably born there. After
this time there were three more sons, all born in Lincoln Co. In the year 1840
the family moved to the northeast corner of McNairy Co,Tn on the waters of the
White Oak.
Joel was born April 14,1797 in Tenn, supposedly of Irish parents of Va blood
line of Findleys that moved to Tenn sometime bwtween 1794 and 1797. He was married
to Susan BLAIR about 1816 or the first part of 1817. Susan Blair was born Apr.20,1799
in Tenn. Joel died Jan 19,1842 with winter fever (pneumonia)and was buried in Mt.
Zion cemetery in McNairy Co. near Enville,Tenn.
  After Joel's death Susan continued to live with her three youngest sons on the
home place, since the two eldest sons Martin and Brice M.were already married.
About 1849-1850 the next son Lorenzo Dow married leaving the two youngest sons
John W. and Josiah S. at home with Susan.
  About the latter part of the 1850's Susan along with the unmarried sons and
Lorenzo Dow who was married and part of his family already born moved to Pope Co,
Ark and settled in the Gum Log community. Later moving to the Center Valley community,
where she remained making her home with the youngest son,until her death on Aug 21,
1866. Susan was buried in Center Valley Cemetery, Pope Co, Russellville,Ark.
  In Lincoln Co,Tn Joel and a John W.Findley lived neighbors for 20 years. It is
not known if they were related, but it is believed they were brothers. John W. was
three years older than Joel, had three daughters, and a son by the name of Joel.
Joel and Susan had five sons, one of whom was named John W.
  John W.'s son Joel married a girl named Lucinda. Joel and Susan's son Martin
named his daughter Lucinda and his son John W. and a daughter Mary which was the
name of John W.'s wife.
  After Joel died John W. and his wife Mary, with their family, moved from Lincoln Co,
Tenn to McNairy Co,Tenn, settling in the same area as Susan and her children.
  One of John W. and Mary's daughters married Jeptha Pond. It is believed
another daughter married John Meek in Lincoln Co and came to McNairy Co with the
Meek families. She was called Aunt Polly Meek, also Aunt Polly Findley. She lived to
be 105 years old and is still remembered by some.
  John W. and his wife Mary are buried in the Mt.Zion cemetery, McNairy Co, near
Enville,Tenn. Their son,Joel and daughter Sarah Elizabeth,who married Jeptha Pons,
moved to Randolph Co,Ark where it is presumed they are buried along with, the family
members who died there. Daughter Mary (Polly) who is thought to have married
John Meek is buried somewhere in Mt,Zion cemetery near Enville.
  Thus in these following pages we shall see the generations as they have multiplied
and passed our way never to return and fill us in on many things long forgotten. "

Note added Mar 2006:
In one of his letters to Mae Findley, John W.Findley wrote:
....one family came to America in 1720 the other 1734 and members of both families
were in Augusta Co,Va at the same time and both families used the same usual family
names, Robert,John,James and Samuel, every family had sons by these names. I am
trying now to connect us with James and Elizabeth Patterson Findley both born and
married in Ireland had six children one son John Findley married Thankful Doak had
son John Findley,Jr married Mary Caldwelland had son James Findley born 1745
in Augusta Co,Va married Keziah Martin and had sons James,Robert,Samuel, and
Travis and I believe Joel my great grandfather to be son of one of these boys Joel born
1792 and I have a direct line from Joel to the present. Joel had son whose name was
Martin Findley this was my grandfather....
My comments: I have since then found info in 'The Clan Finley' that these sons were
either too young or moved elsewhere than Tenn but they also may have had a
son John Findley born 1770 Augusta Co,Va, married in 1791Katherine(born 1770 also in
Augusta Co,Va), unknown where. He died in Davidson Co,Nashville,Tn in 1838. I have not
been able to get a response from the person who provided this info. I have also been
unable to find anything else at the Tenn Archives in Nashville..... yet. Maybe some day???

Hi Rosa,
I was surfing the web for FINDLEY info and came across your rootsweb.com
info. I am very interested in finding your source for Joseph Lewis FINLEY
(b.1753 York Co,Pa) being the father of Joel/Joseph Lewis FINLEY (b.1793
Adams Co,Ohio) who was the father of Lorenzo Dow FINDLEY(b.1826). When I
was first starting my research a few years back, I felt this was true and
even put it on some web sites. But I have never found 'proof' positive of
this. Joel is my GGGgrandfather. He died in 1842 and is buried at the
cemetery in Enville,Tn in McNairy Co. He is shown as Joseph in the 1820
Lincoln Co,Tn census. After he died, his wife Susan and some sons moved
to Pope Co,Ark.
I would appreciate any info you may have. This one has been a real
mystery to me.
Thanks.

Joseph Joel Findley b.1792 Tn* or Pa d.1842 Tn (years are according to his gravestone at Enville,Tn)
* Tn did not become a state until 1796
I have never found proof that he is the son of Joseph Lewis Findley (b.1753 Pa d.1839 Adams,Ohio). This Joseph Lewis Findley had a son named Joseph Lewis Findley b.1793 according to the book 'The Clan Finley' by Harold Stout. Nothing further is shown.
My original thinking was that the name Joel came from Joe(for Joseph)+L.(for Lewis). But it appears that the name Joel is far more common (in Pa and Tn) than I had thought in 1995. A search on ancestry.com census records reveals this.
However, Joel Findley is shown as Joseph in 1820 Lincoln,Tn then as Joel in 1830 and 1840. Another Findley descendant was shown as Joseph and Joel in Tn and Ark. So the names could just be interchangeable, like Jack and John.
The Susan Blair b.1798 Bedford,Pa had parents named Brice and Nancy (McCoy) Blair. Joel and Susan Findley named a son Brice. That Brice named a daughter Nancy. Joseph Lewis Finley and Jean Blair Findley had a daughter named Nancy also. The name Brice is much more common than I had thought, in Tn and Pa. An ancestry.com search as above shows this. There were also several Blair families in Tn in 1820 in Lincoln Co. Only two Blair families are in 1810 in Rutherford Co,Tn. There are no Finley or Findley families in 1810 but the census for Tn only shows two townships in Rutherford Co.
The 1850 Tn and 1860 Ark census shows Susan Blair Findley was born in Tn. All the 1880 Census records of her children say she and Joel were born in Tn not Pa. I know this is subject to who gave the info to the census taker, but it bothers me that not one ever said Pa.
An article about Joel Findley in the Pope Co,Ark history by Earl Findley says he was from Lincoln Co,Pa. There is no Lincoln Co,Pa so did he make a typo, or did someone have this info? I have never been able to find out. He died a few years back. Other than my reasons above about Joseph Lewis Findley of Pa, I have never seen any other info. Another descendant of his son John D.C.Blair (of Ky)told me no one had ever found a Tn connection to the Pa or Ohio Finley's.
My grandmother's second cousin John W.Findley of Batesville,Ark researched this line from the 1970's until his death in 1991. He never found who Joel's parents were but thought that they were from Va. Joseph Joel and John W.Findley (b.1797 Va) were next to each other in the 1820 and 1830 Tn census. The name John W. was used by several of Joel's descendants and Joel was used in John W.'s. John W. (Batesville) thought that Joel and John W. were brothers but could never prove it.
I recently researched all the Westmoreland Co,Pa indexed microfilms I could find at the Pa Archives, hoping to find mention of Joseph Lewis Finley (the son b.1792). I also researched all the cemetery and marriage and other books I could find at the Pa State Library. No mention of Joseph Lewis Finley.
The 1800 Census lists only 108 Finley and 37 Findley families. The majority were in NC and Pa. This census does not include Tn or Va.
The 1790 Census lists only 54 Finley and 33 Findley families, again witht the majority in NC and Pa. This census also did not include Tn (statehood was 1796) or Va (statehood 1788).
I hope to go to the Nashville,Tn Archives soon and then maybe Ohio and Va someday.
I personally do not have any problem with anyone showing any connections to people but others have questioned my logic on assuming this connection. I have dropped it from my personal GED and tried to note it to all the websites I can do so on.
Thank you.

Joseph/Joel Findley of Lincoln Co,Tn
Added by alandelaine1 on 19 Apr 2009
I originally thought his name was Joseph Lewis Finley but never have been able to prove this (or disprove either). His name appears as Joseph sometimes and Joel at others. But the only record I have found of a Joseph Lewis Finley born at about the same time as Joseph/Joel Finley is in Harold Stout's book 'The Clan Finley'.

Joseph JOEL FINLEY and SUSAN BLAIR were married in 1816 in TN.³ SUSAN BLAIR¹ was born in 1799 in Tn or Pa. She died on 21 Aug 1866 at the age of 67 in RUSSELLVILLE, ARK. She was buried in CENTER VALLEY CEMETARY, NEAR RUSSELLVILLE. On census records, it always shows her birthplace as Tenn, hers in 1850-1860 and her children in 1880 census.

Hi Wayne,

I am Bryce D. Blair, of Medina, OH, and am directly related to the Brice (II) Blair & Nancy "Agnes" McCoy you have mentioned in at least two informative postings on Rootsweb boards (dated: 20 Apr 05 and 23 May 05). I have spent the last 25 years researching my Blair line which has been proven back to Brice's father, Brice (I) Blair, b.ca.1720 in the North of Ireland & his second wife, Susannah (unknown). I have published a book (in 2000) on his history and descendants called, The Bean's Cove Blair Clan Genealogy.

The reason I am writing is to comment on your reference to his daughter, Susan Blair (b.1798 in Bedford Co, PA) in both postings. I have seen other references to her on the Internet as well. The truth is that Brice (he is also my namesake) had two daughters they named Susannah, probably named after their grandmother. However, both died young according to the family tradition and an Orphan's court record. I also have a copy of the old Brice (II) Blair Family Bible giving the birth dates of all in that family group. The first Susannah was born on 11 Jul 1790 in Southampton Twp, Bedford Co, PA and the other on 11 Jul 1798 in the same place. There were no death records kept in Bedford Co. at the time so I only have the old Bible record and an Orphan's Court record on his minor children shortly after he died, intestate, on 26 Oct 1813 in Bedford Co, PA. According to the law of the time, the County's Orphan's Court was required to appoint a legal, male guardian for fatherless children under the age of sixteen and approve the selection of a guardian for those sixteen to twenty one. The second Susannah would have been 15 years old at the time had she lived. She is not mentioned in the court record where as all the others are. I do not have a death date for either Susannah but their grandmother died on 14 Feb 1819 (68 years old).

Sometime before I got into my research, someone filed some data with the LDS on Brice (II)'s family, possible based on another copy of the old Blair Bible record and the LDS just transferred it to the IGI without checking further, creating the misinformation used by others.

I certainly don't mean to "rain on anyone else's parade" but I thought you might be interested in what information I have on the subject and will be very interested in your comments. Incidentally, the Family of Blair is very large and well represented, even today, through out the USA, the UK and the British Commonwealth. I am also part of the Blair Society for Genealogical Research, see www.blairsociety.org for more details. I very much hope this e-mail gets through to you and hope to hear from you soon and hope your Finley/Findley research is going well.

Sincerely,

Bryce D. Blair

Hello Bryce,
Thank you very much for the info. I no longer show the Susan Blair to Brice Blair or Joseph Joel Finley to Joseph Lewis Finley connections in my GED. I have also tried to find every web site that shows this and show corrections and also email the submitters. I wish there was a way to correct the LDS info or at least add a note giving the reasons for why we showed a connection.
I have no problem with you correcting any web site that you find. I appreciate it. I would also like for you to let me know.

Hello,
I saw your Findley family information on Rootsweb.com. I am descended from the line of Findley's as in your family tree. My great-grandfather was Hubert O Findley. He was the son of Joe Nathan Findley. I believe his name was actually Josiah N Findley but the dates are not matching up right so I still have to do some research. It was interesting to see your family tree online!

Note:
Someone e-mailed me for information from the Pope County History book on this Findley family this week. Here is what I found when searching the Pope and Yell County, Arkansas records for William W. Findley.

William W. Findley born 1865 died 1934 is buried in Pisgah Cemetery located west of Pottsville, Arkansas. The Gardner Funeral Home records show this for him: born 21 Dec 1870 died 22 Dec 1934. He married first to A. J. STAPP age 18 on 06 Apr 1890 by G. C. Harbison, Minister Book F page 470 at the Dardanelle, Yell County, Courthouse. Yell County has two courthouses, one at Dardanelle and one at Danville.

He married second to Mrs. Mattie NEAL age 20 of Russellville on 24 April 1903 by R. H. Bryant, Minister Book H page 610 Pope County, Arkansas. I found two other marriages for Mattie:
1st Mattie STAPP 19 to W. L. Patrick age 21 on 08 Sep 1896 by J. W. Slusher Book G page 303 Pope Co.
2nd Mrs. Mattie Patrick age 17 to F. T. NEAL 19 on 29 Nov 1899 by G. J. Gideon, JP Book G page 529.

I wonder about her age in this fist marriage. But do believe this is the same MATTIE.

From the old newspapers in Pope County, Courier-Democrat at Russellvile.
18 Sep 1902 - The C-D has been advised of the death on the 13th of Mrs. William Findley of near Pottsville, the result of Dropsy. Burial services were conducted at Pisgah cemetery. (There is not marker for her in this cemetery. I think that this is his first wife.)

I am not related to the FINDLEY family, but do connect to the BOWDEN family and have information on the family of James M. McGarity and his wife, Myrtle Robinson who is from the very large BOWDEN families in Pope County. Will be glad to share what I have on them.

Greetings............ My name is Don Russell of North Little Rock, AR. I have known your family for most of my life through church. I was visiting your website that showed so much of the Ragsdale history and it brought back great memories.

First....We attend the church in North Little Rock where your website indicates that Bro Al was saved, 1st Assembly of God....which used to be located at 22nd and Franklin. The church is almost 100 years old and now runs about 2200 each Sunday morning in two services and is reaching the world in various ways with the gospel. A wonderful and successful church that blesses our city and state. Rev Gus Hardcastle was the first pastor when the church was meeting in what was known as the "sheepshed" across the street from where the building at 22nd and Franklin stood. Bro Al came along in the late thirties and was riding a bicycle and learning the bible and playing his music for anyone that would listen. I've heard the story many times and there are still folks around that remember him well.

In 1939, Rev J. D. Hardcastle, started a mission church on East Washington Avenue, in North Little Rock. He was saved in 1926, at the 22nd and Franklin church, where his brother, Gus, was pastor. J. D., pastored the East Washington church until his death in 1970 and had fellowshipped with Bro Al over all those years. Bro Al preached 25 or 30 revivals for us during that time and was very instrumental in my family playing guitars and bass fiddles and such. Bro Hardcastle was my step-father and I, with my two brothers, grew up in the church, Full Gospel Temple, which was affiliated with the Pentecostal Church of God. There are folks all over town in the various churches that were influenced by Bro Al's ministry. My mother, Florence Hardcastle, pastored the church until 1976 when she retired. They are both gone now but, Full Gospel Temple, is still serving the community as an outreach to the homeless and continues as a viable church. The church was relocated in the late 60's to the east side of the city on Highway 161 North. The picture that you have on page 80 of the family pictorial history is identified incorrectly. The sign in front of the church says "Full Gospel Temple".   It was located on 423 Washington Ave, North Little Rock, AR and was torn-down for urban renewal purposes in the late 60's. There is a large arena at that location now. And as I said before...your dad was very much a part of that church.

A few year ago I was able to produce a CD from vinyl records that your dad had made for us in the 50's. They were direct record (live cut) albums that would have one song on each side. I sent the CD to your dad and he featured it on several radio programs that he was doing on the local radio station here in central AR. The singers were Sis Hardcastle and Garland and Reba Russell, my brother and his wife.

Don A. Freeman, here in North Little Rock, usually keeps me posted on how Bro Al is doing.
It has been sometime since I've had an update. Hope all is well with he and your mom.

Your website is full of information and was entertaining as well. I certainly enjoyed going through the past journeys with your family. I ran some of those same paths and saw some of the same sights.

Hi Don,
I have corrected my file to show the church name as Full Gospel Temple. Thanks.
I remember going to the Hardcastle's house after church on Sunday. Mother and Daddy & I went to Little Rock a few years back and tried to find it but we couldn't.
I have added a link on my web site to Daddy's life story book which he published many years ago.
I found a bunch of old vinyl records stored in Daddy's closet. I have copied them to CD and am trying to figure a way to upload them but my web site is limited.
Daddy has started having memory loss a few years ago. I put together the 'Ancestors,Descendants,...'etc for them as a Christmas present. I wasn't sure he would remember much but Mother said he has really enjoyed looking thru it. He has had congestive heart failure for several years now and has to go to the hospital every few months when the pain and coughing gets too bad.
Thanks again for your email.
