Adonijah Hulsey was born in 1762 and was the younger brother of my James J Hulsey. As I searched my DNA connections, I kept coming across the Gailey and Brock names. My next door neighbor at Possum Kingdom lake was Linda Kay Cox. Kay had named her daughter Gailey, and Gailey named a son Brock. I began an extensive search to learn how this connection was found on my tree.
Her line comes down from Adonijah:
Adonijah Hulsey 1762-1827 > Vincent N Hulsey 1799-1870 > Jesse Harrison Hulsey 1824-1908 > Thomas Newton Hulsey 1849-1934
Jesse Harrison Hulsey married Lucinda Brock 1825-1911
Jesse Hulsey and Lucinda's children were: Nancy Jane, Thomas Newton, Mary H, Sarah "Sallie" Lara, James A, John Dillard Hulsey, Jennings Hulsey, Francis M "Bud" Hulsey, Melinda Emeline Hulsey (Melinda married Perry Leonadis Gailey who was the brother to James Newton Gailey) so we probably have other Hulsey Gailey Brock connections
Thomas Newton Hulsey married Mary E Gailey 1857-1942.
Mary E Gailey's parents were Santafee Henderson Gaily 1829-1907. Santafee married Amanda Melvina Rogers. Their children were: George Gailey, Mary Elizabeth Gailey, Perry Leonadis Gailey, Ruth Gailey, Margarette Gailey, Augusta Lafayett Gailey, James Newton "Jim" Gailey (Kay's Line), Milton Homer Gailey, Marvin Fletcher Gailey.
James Newton Gailey 1869-1930 married Eleanor Elizabeth Brock 1871-1943
Their son James Dolphus "Dock" Gailey married Edna Puckett and these were Kay's grandparents. Her mother, Edna Irene Gailey, was their daughter
AMAZING!!!!
