I have a letter that states my triple great grandfather Austin Pitts had a half brother named Philip Vealey. Austin was born in 1834. I am not sure if this Philip Vealey would be of the same family but both Philip and Austin that I'm looking for were born in New York. I do not know the name of the mother that these two would have to share. Austin's father's name on his death certificate was Geo. Not sure if this was at all helpful or anything but I am trying to put together the pieces of a puzzle too.
