Hey, Lufin! Nice to meet ya! Yeah...I plan in getting to the Scott County area sometime this late spring or early summer to check out some info on the Finley's and Richey's. After mushroom season here at my location, that is. The Richey's and Collings' came up from Kaintuck and settled in the Scott County area. Do to a lack of schooling ... who know's for sure how Finley, Findley, Finly, Finlay was really spelled to begin with. LOL Did you know that Davy Crocket married a Polly Finley? Yep! Found that out while doing my research. They, of course, live in Kentucky. Not sure where my great, great, great grandparents came from. I found out who they were after about a year of research. My great, great grandfather, William P. Finley, was born in Beaver Township, Noble County, Ohio. His parents were James Finley and Charlotte Starr. Can't find out anything past James. So with my trip to Scott County , I will be going on to Noble County, Ohio. Of course, I'll be taking my MD with me to hopefully hook up with someone and check out some old homestead sites. If you're interested in corresponding, send me an email. Have a goodun' and HH!!! Ray
