There is a Robert B. Halley (1823-1875) buried in Salado Cemetery:

(Also buried there is Samuel L. Halley (1866-1885)

Robert shows up, age 36, with family on the 1860 Bell County census:

Apparently, Robert was also a Captain in charge of Company G, 2nd
Texas-Arizona Cavalry during the Civil War:

Sorry about that.

Robert Halley was born May 14, 1823 in Macon, Bibb Co., Ga. He married Lydia

Anderson Ederington on Aug 16 1849 in Lenark, Bradley Co., Arkansas. They
had 8 children, most of them did not marry..

Robert died Oct 5, 1875 in Salado, Bell Co., Tx. His wife moved to Dallas Tx

and lived with her daughter, Mimmie Lydia Smith, where she died on Dec 7,
1927.

I had copies of his service record when he was in the Mexican War and I have

Lydia's pension application regarding Robert.

Apparently, in Salado, there is a Bed & Breakfast type house that is called
the Halley house. This was his house back in the day.

What I am looking for is if any one has pictures of him and Lydia. Also any
other type of information that I can obtain. I am also looking for someone
to take a photograph of his grave site in Salado (I do not have the name of
the cemetery at time of writing, but can obtain quickly.)

I would also like to corespond with anyone else who is related.

Also, I have another relative that resided in Salado, John Boyd (Burton)
Harrell. He was married to Sara Jane Ederington, sister to Lydia Halley, on
Apr 28, 1874. I do not know when or where he died. I presume he died in
Salado, but I have not been able to find the connection. Sara died June 5,
1896 in Florence, Williamson Co., Tx. The Harrell's and Robert Halley, were

neighbors in Ga before they moved to Texas. I am looking for pictures or any

other information on these people.

Thank you again,

Chad Harrell Yeager
