The following is a highly speculative genealogy of the Burleys of the Mansfield-Charleston area based on readings of Wills, the Death Index, Munsell's 1883 History of Tioga County and other sources. It's purpose is to provide a starting point for further research on the Burley family. I would be greatly interested in ANY information anyone might have for Burleys (not Burleighs) in this geographical area. Thanks in advance...Thomas P. Dewey tomdewey@penn.com

Information based on Tom
Dewey information, US Federal Census,
Civil war pension files,
and newspaper clippings.
The 1840 US Federal Census,
there are 2 unaccounted for girls
and one male (Henry was too old to be in the 1840 count and the
1850 Henry in the house
I think is a grandson). The 1840 census
reported 4 males: 1<5, 2 5-9, 1 10-14 and 6 females: 1<5, 1 5-9,
1 10-14 and 3 15-19 .
I have additional information on Robert & Mary's family, especially Matilda who is my ggg-grandmother.
