Brolly/Brolley/Brawley

Daniel Brawley/Brolley/Brolly bought land in Covington, KY from the Western Baptist Theological Institute in 1846.  He sold this property to Israel Foster on 3 Feb 1850. and evidently moved his family to Pendleton County, KY.  I do not have a copy of the 1850 Federal Census so I cannot tell you where the Brawley/Brolley/Brolly family was living at that time.  The 1860 Federal Census shows them to be living in Pendleton County, KY in the Motier area.  I don't know if the bought land in Motier.  It should be in the Pendleton County records, but I have not had the opportunity to look at those records.  I believe that Daniel died before the 1870 Federal Census was taken.  Mary Foley, his wife, died some time after the 1870 Federal Census was taken. I would very much appreciate any information you might have concerning this family. Thank you, Bill Howard wwh090324@netzero.net

ILES

I am looking for information that anyone can provide me on the Iles surname. Samuel Iles served in the Maryland Militia during the Revolutionary War. At some point he and his family moved to Pendleton County, Kentucky. He
was in the 1820 Census for Falmouth Township. He had a son (Samuel) who was born on 14 Sep 1810 in Pendleton County. Two of his daughters (Elizabeth & Sarah) were married in Pendleton County, Kentucky. He had
another daughter, Hester (Hettie, who I believe was born in Maryland, but may have been married in Kentucky. Melissa J. Iles was born in Kentucky on 30 Jan 1818, but I don't know who her parents were. The entire Iles
family ended up moving to Fayette County, Indiana sometime in the 1820's. Any help that anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Tom Iles, t.iles@sbcglobal.net

JONES / LIGHTFOOT

I am having trouble finding my great great grandparents, William Jones and Nancy Lightfoot.  I have documents suggesting that they had a son, William R. Jones (the "R." may have stood for Robert) who was born in Pendleton County, Kentucky in 1826.  I do not have a date, just the year.  I have other documentation suggesting that my Nancy Lightfoot was a daughter to Philip Lightfoot and Susannah Smith.  Philip died during the War of 1812 at the Battle of Fort Meigs, Ohio.  His widow, Susannah, then married Thomas Wells in Pendleton County, Kentucky, the marriage bond being filed on February 14, 1815 (I have a copy of the document). 
Can you give me some advice?  I am trying to find the birth record of William R. Jones and/or the marriage record of William Jones and Nancy Lightfoot.  Any help with this would really be appreciated. Larry M. Jones LDEAA@aol.com
