1723 Son Samuel Schooley was born on July 25 (5 mo. 25th day). He sold the land bequeathed to him by his father, removed to Schooley's Mountain, which was named after him, married and removed with all or a part of his family to Virginia, near Harper's Ferry, and finally settled in Ohio. Samuel Schooley married Mary Albertson of Warren county, New Jersey, daughter of Nicholas Albertson and his wife Anglechea Van De Water, and granddaughter of Cornelius Albertson, a merchant of Amsterdam, Holland. On 12 of 3 mo., 1761, Samuel requested for himself, his wife and his two daughters, Phebe Meyers and Ann, a certificate of membership from the Kingwood M. M., in Hunterdon county, New Jersey, addressed to the M. M. at Fairfax, Virginia. On 9 of 4 mo., 1761, Jonathan Meyers requested a similar certificate for himself and his wife (Phebe) and children. A certificate for a Schooley was taken about 1803 from the Goose Creek M. M. in Virginia to the Westland M. M., Pennsylvania; also that a family by the name of Schooley took a certificate of membership, before 1822, from Fairfax M. M. to Short Creek, Harrison county, Ohio. [1] [2] [3] [4]
