1. RICHARD1 CORLEY was born Bef 1655, and
died Abt 1708 in Hanover County, Virginia.
Notes Richard Corley is the earliest Corley of record in
North America. Hanover County is near Richmond, up the James River from
Jamestown and Williamsburg. The first ship reached Jamestown from England in
1607, not too long before Richard was born. I don't know where Richard was born,
but if he wasn't born in England, his parents probably were.
As Virginia got too crowded, and
more land opened up to the south, descendants of Richard Corley migrated to the
Edgefield County area of South Carolina and from there to Georgia, Alabama and
other states.
