WORLEY of Kentucky

[oldohiohome]

I've never seen that numbering system before for a genealogy, but I think the line from Edward in Yorkshire to Edward b 1696 in Maryland is:

1. Edward Moberly (Yorkshire)
- 1.1 William
- 1.1.2 John (Cheshire) < - residence in Cheshire might be fiction. You'd know better than I if that makes sense. Another page said "maybe they were in Cheshire" and "maybe they were in Barbados" also.
- 1.1.2.1. John (1657, England - 1727, Maryland)
- 1.1.2.1.2 Edward Moberly b 1696, Maryland
  and maybe Keziah is his daughter by his second wife

Detective of the year

I LL have to go through this bit by bit but seems to compare well with what DNA matches have on their trees

Military records:
I didn't see any reference to military service for Wiley Worley or his son Isaac. Wiley was born in 1775, so he wouldn't have been in the American Revolution. His father might have
been, if you figure out who he was. Isaac was born about 1804, so he would have been 57 when the American Civil War started..

Thomas Meador served in the military during the American revolution

In 1743, Thomas' father Jason Meador was fined for being a Quaker
and refusing to bear arms.

I have Wiley's parents as being Joseph John Worley 1727+ Barbara worrel 1749 again no Barbara's in descending branches

I've added to you quote

 THe connections to English Mobberly men seems too far in past to account for the dna match around 3rd cousin level

if the cader Worleys have been mixed up that would account for a generation closer
cader the uncle would have been youngest son of wiley bborn soon before his fathers death in 1824
what information did you find about him ?

[brigidmac]

DNA thru lines are showing up to half 5th cousins descended from Wiley WORLEY thru sons Isaac + Willis
Via 3 different children of each

To me that is conclusive of the shared ancestor

Now it's a case of following the correct path .

Looks like strongest connections to 2 sons of Isaac ; Cader Powell + George

I've looked at the other Cader ..no sign of a middle name
Have added all his children to
BD DNA  tree

Have shared this topic with a descendant of Cader Powell WORLEY
3 generations of their family have taken DNA tests . So I LL be able to do  triangulations with more accuracy

Had assumed connection to Yorkshire branch is via a son of Wiley the patriarch of this branch but have to consider that it could be a child of Wiley himself which would make Cader Powell WORLEY a nephew not a half brother + bring the matches a generation closer

5th cousins share a common gr gr gr gr grandparent. Do you know how far back that would be in their trees from the people in the US whom you match?

[brigidmac]

Yes some are 4th great grand children like my cousin others are 1 generation closer or 1- 3 generations removed

Here's 1 example
