I'm trying to find anything on my ancestor, Jacob Vealey, b. 12 March 1808 in Onondaga, NY; m. Polly Brienningstahl and d. 30 Jan 1876 in Wayne, MI. Had a son, my g-grandfather, Phillip Francis Vealey, b. 12 Apr. 1883 in Onondaga, NY.
Family rumor has it that Phillip came to Michigan with two other brothers. I find other Vealey's in Michigan but can't make the link.
Have also wondered if these are related to the Dutch Viele's in Ulster, NY?
