dmiller0917, great post. I too have tried to find elias Kingley's parents. Elias and Patience are my ggg grandparents. I decend through their son sylvester "pete", his son John, his dau Marie Kingsley (1899-1983) as my grandmother. These 4 names are the only leads I've had in years. By the way I'm michael kearney (Apingos@aol.com) and I live in Rockford, Illinois.
