!Documentation provided by Blanch Jernigan, Box 486, Pewee Valley, KY 40056, March 1990: 1820 census, Overton County, TN; 1830, 1840 census, Monroe County, IN. Monroe County, IN deed, March 18, 1834 from Nathan Padgett and wife to George Finley. Will of George Finley, signed 8 August 1850, probated 13 November 1851, wife Frances, appointed executrix (Monroe Co., IN WB 3:20- 21). Inventory and sale of assets of Rufus Finley, Monroe Co., IN (?), Book 1848-1860, roll #21, page 30-35. Will of Thomas Finley names niece, Ann Finley, Abbeville, SC, WB 2:235-236. History of Monroe County shows he was a Justice of the Peace 1839-1848 (p. 405).
!Clem Thompson article (see daughter, Mary), claims George went to South Carolina shortly after his marriage, to settle wife's estate.
!Relationship to George and Mary (Gaines) Finley not proved; but circum- stantial evidence points to such a relationship (born in KY and fits the family of George and Mary; named his fourth child Mary Gaines Finley; named a son David).
!LDS Archive record of Rosella Pitman (1966), gives date of death. States Indiana State Library has bible records compiled by Mrs. Charles R. Emery, Bloomington, IN. Also cites 1830-1850 census of Clear Creek, Monroe, IN. Finley Bible (1834) owned by Lottie Finley, Clear Creek; Monroe County cemetery records, p. 55; Monroe County History 15 vol. 2, p. 197. Mrs. Charles R. Emery, "Bible and Family Records" (G p.f.929.11 no. 3; Gp.f. 929.11 nor 3 Supp.) received from Indiana State Library, 140 North Senate Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46204. Gives most vital statistics for George and family listed belo w.
!Listed as member of Spring Creek Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Putnam Co., TN as "dismissed by letter," 1830. The church was organized in 1826 and George and Fanny were listed as members at that time. Putman County was formed partly from Overton County in 1854.
General Notes (Wife)
!Parents were William and Martha Hancock of Laurens County, SC. Mother died when Fanny was 2; father died when she was 5. Reared by grandmother, Isabella Hancock (wife of Clement), in Jackson County, TN (from Blanche Jernigan). See also Clem Thompson article (full reference under Mary Gaines Finley).

General Notes for Child Mary Gaines Finley
!Feature article on her written by Clem Thompson, "A Remarkable Life: Aunt Polly Sharpe," published in the Free Press, Mt. Pleasant, IA, 21 July 1904. Article states that John Hancock, signer of Declaration of Independence was her grandfather's uncle. Great grandparents were Clem and Isabelle Hancock (sons - William, John, Clem and Jim) all born in SC. Her grandfather, William, was Revolutionary Soldier under Andrew Jackson, killed in Battle of New Orleans. Mary Heple says "Uncle John" was not the signer of the Declaration of Independence. She also says Willliam was not listed as killed in Battle of New Orleans.

Emery gives date of death as 15 September 1851; however, Blanche Jernigan says 6 children were born after 1851. Could this be 1861?
