James Handley - 1797 - Nov 19, 1861 m. 1819
Charity Hayden - 1799 - 1867 10c.
He was born in Greenbrier Co., Va., no W. Va. He was the son of a surveyor and large land-owner and one of the influential citizens of Greenbrier County. These Handley's were of Scotch-Irish origin. He came from a large family. He had 4 brothers and several sisters. He lived in his native state until he was about 17 years of age, when he came west to Hamilton Co., Ohio. There at age of 22, he married Charity, a native of Pennsylvania, who in her girlhood went with her parents to Kentucky and then to Hamilton Co., Ohio. Her father was Stephen Hayden. In December 1821, they went to Indiana and settled in Jackson Twp., Fayette Co., their home being established in a small log house in the midst of the forest. As the years passed by, he cleared and improved his land. The cabin gave way in time to a comfortable frame residence, and this, in turn, to a modern brick house. On this farm James Handley spent 40 years of his life. He was a man of broad views and generous charity. He did much good in assisting those less fortunate than himself in this life and he died in the belief of universal happiness in the life to come.
