Vineyard Coley Lineage

Polly A Vineyard married William E Coley Oct 25th 1860 (almost 151 years ago this year 2011) and just about 8 months after her father death. Polly Vineyard owned/inherited 15 acres on Red Hill and brought the Coleys to Red Hill in 1860. Polly Vineyard and William E Coley had several children. One of their children was James Lawrence b. 1866 d. 1940 and married Katherine Reed. James and Katherine had 10 children (one was Issac Coley) and they lived on the hill above the Issac Grady home or by the Coley cemetery.

Good Morning! I found your blog many years ago as I was researching the Vineyard line. I am a descendant of Edna C Vineyard, your Polly's sister. Edna married Ira Quillin. I have since started my own blog with all the genealogical research that I have done. Today I started posting my documentation of the Vineyards. As I dug deeper, I realized that your Polly's grandson, Isaac Grady Coley born 1891 married back into the Quillin family. He married Anna Elizabeth Quillin. Anna was the daughter of Martin Bird Quillin b 1818. Martin was my Ira's much older brother. So hello, cousin! BTW...your photography is phenomenal.

George Vineyard Sr

George Vineyard Sr 1759-1852 fought in the Revolutionary War (around 1775-1783) Rev. Solider Pension Number S7794 and was buried on Red Hill (Gate City) Virginia directly behind the Benton Cemetery on Red Hill Road (see photo of original tombstone). Today it is covered in trash and should be cleared for proper viewing. We have asked the City/County several of times to assist with this to no avail. We are trying to get the DAR involved so if anyone can help us with our journey, that would be appreciated!

Coley Lineage

Willam E Coley married Polly A Vineyard Oct 25, 1860 (daugher of George Vineyard Jr and Hannah Hart). They had several children (possibly 5), one was James Lawrence b. 1866 who married Katherine Reed (these are Granddad Issac Coleys parents). James Lawrence Coley and Katherine Reed Coley had 10 children one was Issac Grady Coley b. 1892 married Anna Elizabeth Quillen May 11, 1913 and had 2 children, Angus Coley b. 1914 and William G. Coley b. 1918. William G. Coley married Myronell Osborne 4.8.1939 and had 4 daughters (2 of which were born in the Issac Coley home below) and qualify for the DAR based on George Vineyard Sr's fighting in the American Revolution. Willam Grady Coley died in 1958.
