Gulley: There are a handful of Gulley stumbling blocks. Where was the family from in England? What was the maiden name of immigrant Thomas Gulley's wife, Mary? Was the family lore about Thomas and Mary returning to England [or Wales?] for the birth of their son Enoch true? [doubtful] Then there's the biggest question left: Did Enoch serve in the Revolutionary War as did two of his brothers?
There is no record of Enoch having served, but there is a George Gulley who did.
George Gulley was born in England in 1750. Enoch was born in 1750, possibly in England.
George Gulley's wife was Frances Ann Franklin, as was Enoch's.
George's daughter Frances married a David Pruitt, likewise for Enoch's daughter Frances.
George had children named George, Betsey and Sally. Enoch had children of the same names.
George died in 1814, Enoch about 1828.
One of Frances Pruitt's descendants filed for the DAR using George Gulley as her patriot ancestor. The DAR marked it as an error in 1916. Was George really Enoch?
Clark: I used my Samuel Clark mystery as my Problem Solving project at the Salt Lake Institute two years ago. Samuel was from Pennsylvania and born about 1750. His father may have been Isaac Clark. That's about it!
Crousore: The Crousores [Kraushaars] were another Salt Lake project - twice! The 2nd time was much more successful. I discovered that Jacob Crousore married Ama Jemima Smith [previously identified as Annie I. Ice] and was able to track my branch of the family from Pennsylvania to Ohio to Indiana. One of my goals was to identify Jacob's mother. That still remains a goal! I was able to place spouses with all of Jacob's aunts and uncles, but not his father, John.
