Hello Kim:
John Hawley, Halley, Holley, Hale (he is found in the records under all these names) was b. c. 1739 in either Charles or Prince George Co., Md., and he m. Elizabeth Price a widow.I have this John Hawley, Halley, Holley, Hale's line back to 1686. His father was Thomas Halley and his uncles were Nathaniel and John.They all lived in P.G. or Charles Co., Md.It is not known whether Price was John's wife's married or maiden name.In John Halley's February 22, 1800 will T#1, folio 439 in Prince Georges Co., Md. he leaves money (50 lbs. each) to Hillery Hanson Wade , alias Halley, and Elizabeth Meeks Emerson.Witness to this will was John Harris.John and Elizabeth Halley's children were: Samuel Halley, Nathaniel Halley, Penellopy Halley Peacock, Mildred Halley Emerson, Mary Halley Athey, Ama Halley Pyle and Elizabeth Price Halley Pumphrey.I do not know if the Hillary referenced by John Halley in his will is male or female and I do not know why he left this Hilliary 50 lbs.Marburys were from Prince George Co., Md. and John Hawley/Halley b. 1686 gave testimony in Prince George Co., Md. records about Marbury land.I have been researching this family for 40 years and my first Hawley, Halley, Holley and Similar Surnames book was published a couple of years ago and the second book of the same title is about to be published by Heritage Books, Inc. of Bowie, Md. I have long been attempting to identify Hillary.Any help that you could give me or I could give you might help unravel the puzzle of Hillary. Possbly both male and female?
