TRANSCRIPT
The 1938 Locey Family History
The following pages are scans of a family history originally compiled by Alexander Crippen Roberts with thehelp of a group of his cousins in 1938. This document is 83 pages in length. I have prefaced the history itselfwith copies of the correspondence from Alexander Roberts to my gGrandfather Herbert Miles. I honestlycannot fathom the amount of work that must have gone into this, no computers, no email, or internet... all byhand the long way. All I can say is I appreciate the work.
This history is not just a cataloging of names, but it has a lot of nuggets about the people in it that make themmore than just a name on a page.
Upon his sending out of an original number of 150 copies of this project he challenged, all those to whom hesent it, to keep it current. So now I am doing my part, close to 70 years later, to help with that. Please, if youare a member of this family contact me, I love to 'meet' new cousins and I would like to update the familyhistory for the next generation.
This file may be printed out but, please as you go through it, remember there was no spellcheck, andno white out. There are typos. I have not changed anything in this electronic copy of the history. Alsonone of the supposition about the first generation- Daniel and Pheobe Locey and the tie to Scotlandand a shipwreck has ever been proven to the best of my knowledge.
This is primarily the Family history of thedescendants of Daniel Locey and Hester (Esther)Taylor, parents of 12 children. I descend from theiryoungest child Mary Cornelia Locey and herhusband Jesse Miles Jr.
Enjoy and God Bless,
Mary E. Smith
