Joe SALYER {M}

Julia Mae SALYER {F}

Ben and Joyce Goble, P. O. Box 833, Warsaw, IN 46581 wrote to inquire about the Salyer and Conley families of our area. Joyce is the dau of Pearl Conley and Julia Salyer. Julia was the dau of Francis Marion Salyer and Minerva Jane Salyer. I have located her Salyer ancestors but I am having trouble with Pearl Conley's parents. They claim Pearl was the son of Ben Conley and Jeanne Bailey but I can't seem to find Pearl. The only Ben Conley I can find married in 1905 to Sarah Rowe. He was the son of Thomas Prater and Malinda Prater as seen in our Conley Book. Our Bailey book shows Thomas Conley and Malinda Prater to be the parents of a Benjamin Conley b. 23 Jul 1891 who married Jeanne Bailey. Can anyone tell us which is right and who were Jeanne Bailey's parents? (Information from Todd Preston's column in the September 24, 1998 issue of THE SALYERSVILLE INDEPENDENT newspaper.)
