Irish VARLEY Roots
 | Patrick VARLEY, PVarley826@aol.com.
My g-g-grandfather. Pat VARLEY, came from Scotland to the
USA in 1868 sent for wife, Ellen (nee Connolly) and two daughters, in
1870. He was born in Ireland, orphaned during famine at age 10. Neighbors sent him to
Glasgow to work in mills. Settled in Youngstown, OH area and worked on Railroad from
Dunkirk, NY to NE Ohio. They raised six children. The first, Kate
(Johns), then Bridget (Barrett), third Nell (probably
Elenore) (Savage), Annie (Higgins). Two sons were; John
who never married and Thomas, my grandfather. Have not been able to
verify what county Pat was born in Ireland... suspect it was County Mayo, Village of Cong
area. Any info to share would be helpful. (7/98) |

My father's name was Thomas VARLEY, son of George
VARLEY, descended from Michael VARLEY who immigrated to Washington Co, NY
from Ireland. I grew up in Washington Co, not far from the old "VARLEY
Farm". My grandfather sold the farm because he did not care for farm work.
Uncle Richard still lives near Saratoga, NY along with aunt Sue and Clara. I
would love to hear anything more about my VARLEY family lineage, so if you know something,
please contact me. (6/98)

Irish Catholic ancestry in the VARLEY family. This Irish Catholic VARLEY
family came from Ireland to upstate New York, where they continued to live. Michael
VARLEY, born 1828 in Ireland, married Catherine HART (1827-1904)
in 1851. They both came to the US that year as well. By the 1860 census they
were living in Easton, Washington county NY. At the 1870 census they were living in the
town of Saratoga, Saratoga County. Michael was a farmer, as were his sons:

Ireland>Tennessee>Arkansas. Looking for Julia VARLEY
m. James Higgins in Memphis Tenn. in 1868. I can't find anything about her or him
(where they are from...can't find them on the 70 census and only their children, James and
Mary Clare, 11 and 10, show up as foster children in 1880. Family story says that
James came to this country from Ireland and sent for "Mamie"
when he had the money to pay her way. Family story also has them in Ark. in
1870...can't find them. Can you? |
