Relatives of JW Gailey
JW Gailey's Heritage
J.W. Gailey's Great-Grandfather Gailey was named Joseph. Joseph was born in 1774 in South Carolina.
J.W.'s Grandfather Gailey was named Ebenezer. He was born August 21, 1798 in South Carolina and died October 9, 1858 in Craighead County, Arkansas.
Ebenezer was married to Jane Dillard Lomax on July 8, 1830 in Habersham County, GA.
Ebenezer spent most of his life in Habersham County, Georgia where most of his children were born. He moved to Arkansas to be close to his brother Amzi but
died shortly thereafter. At the time Ebenezer's family moved to Arkansas the Tuder family was passing through the area on their way to Texas. Permelia Tuder met
Ebenezer's oldest son Asahel Lomax Gailey and he followed the family to Texas. Asahel and Permelia were J.W. Gailey's parents. Asahel served in the Civil War and
was captured and sent to Chicago where he eventually started a new family with Mary Murray.
The above graphic shows each of Asahel "Asa" Gailey's five children and their descendants. Jane, John, and Asa Nelson were all born in Texas while Lola and Lester
were born in Chicago. Interesting side note is that at least two of Lola's grandchildren (George Emory Pardee and Willis Chace Pardee) ended up settling in Texas. Lester's
son Arthur Lester Gailey spent much of his life in Texas and he died in Dallas in 1964. It is unknown whether he ever made connection with any of his cousins that lived not too far away.
Not shown in the graphic above was Permelia's daughter with J.N. Smith named Starrett Annie Smith (who married John Able Lee).

is JW Gailey. The bearded man may either be Permelia's brother or 3rd husband. The lady standing on the right may be Jane Gailey Harding (JW's sister). More research is
needed for more positive identification.
