Thomas Schooley, who immigrated to New Jersey in 1677, was perhaps the same as Thomas Schooley, who was named before then in Quaker records of Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire, England.

"Among other purchasers of West Jersey lands, were two companies, one made up of some Friends in Yorkshire, and the other of some Friends in London. In the year 1677 Commissioners were sent by the Proprietors with power to buy the lands of the natives; and to order the lands laid out and in general to administer the government, purusuant to the Concessions." The Yorkshire Commissioners, Joseph Helmsley, William Emley and Robert Stacy, on behalf of the first purchasers, chose from the Falls of the Delaware, down, which was hence called the First Tenth. The London Commissioners and those of Yorkshire agreed to join in settling the first town; the Londoners taking along the river to the main street of the town, and the Yorkshire Commissioners to the east of the main street. This town was first called New Beverly, then Bridlington, but soon changed to Burlington. Laws for the government of this projected West Jersey settlement were agreed upon and adopted and signed on the third day of March, 1676/77.

"This purchase was made in the year 1714, two and a half years after Thomas Stevenson and others had purchased several thousand acres in the Upper Purchase. This last Indian Purchase covered all the lands lying above the Falls of the Delaware. It included all of what became Sussex and Warren counties and the west end of Morris county. This purchase made by Thomas Scholey, of 350 acres from Thomas Stevenson was the circumstance which gave his name to the mountains in Northern Jersey, which soon after were known as Schooley Mountains. These lands were disposed of as directed in the will of Thomas, but two years later, the same lands were owned by Samuel Schooley, his son.
Of the sons of Thomas Schooley, Thomas Jr. and William had married before their father's death and Samuel and John remained at the father's home. Thomas Jr., and William had been given large farms by their father while he lived. Samuel and John also received large improved farms.

Parker was not an uncommon name among Quaker activities near Aughton, England, which we suspect to be where Thomas Schooley was located.
