      John House: 'Pioneers of Jackson County'
      The Tolleys came from Rockbridge County in the 30's.

      There were two brothers, William and Joseph Tolley, among the pioneers of the middle Mill Creek Country.

      William Tolley (familiarly called "Old Billy") came around 1832, and settled on the creek at the Chase bend, back next to the hill. He built the first house for Jesse Carney on his farm. He leased of Carney, moved to Turkey Camp Flats about 1835, later to Tug Fork, about Staats Mill.

      He married Elizabeth (maiden name not learned), and their children were Jordan, Eliza, Sally, and a grandson Lewis.
