I went to school in the 80's with some Smitley's that live in Jumonsville, Pa. and Scottdale, Pa. Don't know how that will help.

SMITLEY in western PA

amberwestonn — 2012-04-16 12:26:11Z

Let's start with my Grandfather Thomas E. Weston (b.20 Mar 1934 Uniontown, Fayette, PA d.20 Jan 1999 Greensburg, PA)

His parents were John Raymond Weston (b.1906 d.1979) and his wide was "Boo" Leona Smitley (b.? d.1983 Latrobe, Pa)

I am actually trying to search for Leona's mother's side of the family. No luck from my end. Random stories of Black foot Indian and Inuit Eskimo Indian or sorts. I can't find a Census with her as a child to find parents names and surnames to further my search. They resided around Westmoreland and Fayettle counties in Western PA. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :) Thank you in advance. Feel free to e-mail me amberwestonn@gmail.com

Her father was Charles William Smitley who was born Nov 5th 1888 in the Fayette/Westmoreland area. He married an Emma Layhue, who was born 1893 in Pennsylvania. I am actually connected to a Layhue way back, and I can try to establish a link.

Charles William Smitley's father was Calvin H. Smitley, and he was born Dec 1869 and he married an Ann Smitley born Apr 1872 in Pennsylvania. Charles William Smitley's father was Joseph Macklin Smitley and he was born 15 Jan, 1834 in Westmoreland, Pennsylvania and died 9 Jan, 1900 in Stauffer, Westmoreland, Pennsylvania.

He married Sarah Ellen Rinehart, and she was born on 21 Feb, 1844 in Bullskin, Fayette, Pennsylvania and died 5 Feb, 1911 in Westmoreland, Pennsylvania. There is more on this, but I will email you it when I get the time. They were all Pennsylvania Dutch.
