Gartley
A GARTLEY cousin in New York sent the following message about a
a letter she received from a GARTLEY cousin in Co. Donegal. Is there anyone out there who knows anything about this story?
"Susan wrote that if she can find the name of the person who wrote to her from Scotland last year she'll send it to me. The man wrote about the Gartleys from which we come.It has something to do with an out of wedlock mother from the WINDSOR family back in the 1600's (I think that's the date), who had a baby and named it George for the vicar and GARTLY/GARTLEY for the parish and we are the descended from the offspring of that GARTLEY."
George has been a frequently used name in our GARTLEY family (New Jersey and New York).This is the first we have heard anything like this. If the gentleman who wrote to Susan Scanlon reads this, please contact me.
