Notes for: Benjamin FAIRLEY

Notes: The Farley's are quite interesting.
Their name was originally spelled either Fairley or Fairleigh and waschanged to Farley sometime along the way.
Benjamin who was b.Abt 1760 in Hampshire, Virginia, (this Benj.'sGrandfather) was the head of the branch that went to Missouri from Ohioand kept the Name Fairley, but one son John, who went to Kentucky changedthe spelling to Fairleigh when he moved there, so there is also branchthere.
