Our Risingers are related to the Corley family through 3 households, but multi-related in each household!! It wasn't easy figuring out the relationships. I have some info on John Frederick Corley from John Harman Nicholson. If any of you connect, I'd love to hear from you!

CHRISTINA CORLEY and FRANCIS SHARPE
Christina Corley was the daughter of John Frederick Corley and Jemima Hipp. She was the granddaughter of Lawrence Corley and Christina Blacken.
Francis Sharpe was the father of Eleanor Elizabeth Sharpe who married Henry Roland. Henry Roland was my husband's gr-gr-grandfather through their son James D. Roland and his wife Barbara Ann Schumpert and through their daughter Emma Pearle Roland and her husband Thomas Joshua Risinger, Sr. Therefore, Francis Sharpe and Christina Corley were my husband's 3rd gr-grandparents, John Frederick Corley and Jemima Hipp were his 4th gr-grandparents and Lawrence Corley and Christina Blacken were his 5th gr-grandparents.

JESSE CORLEY and ABIGAIL ROLAND
He was the son of John Frederick Corley and Jemima Hipp (sister of Christina above) and grandson of Lawrence Corley and Christina Blacken. Jesse Corley was my husband's 4th gr-uncle.
Abigail was the sister of Henry Roland mentioned above, making her my husband's 3rd gr-aunt (and being married to Jesse made her also my husband's 4th gr-aunt!).

ANDREW PETER CORLEY and ELIZA CATHERINE M. SCHUMPERT
Andrew was the son of Jesse Corley and Abigail Roland, making him my husband's 4th cousin through Abigail AND 5th cousin through Jesse (AND gr-gr-uncle through his marriage to Eliza!)
Eliza was the sister of Barbara Ann Schumpert who married James D. Roland (my husband's gr-grandparents mentioned above), making Eliza my husband's gr-gr-aunt (and of course double cousin through her marriage to Andrew).

Think my husband is his own cousin? :o)

Again - if anyone connects, please let me know!
