General Notes: According to Eunice B. Kirkham re a "History of the old Gilley Settler in VA"
written by Mr.s R. A. Hairfield, Critz, VA 1950. The Gilley's first settled in Chesterfield Co, VA. Lived in Buckingham Co,
VA 1773-74. Moved to Pittsylvania Co abt 1775. They settled Henry Co, 1776. Took oath of allegiance 1778, was affirmed although
he would not swear because of his Quaker religion. He owned 1100 acres of land on Big Creek in Ridgeway, VA at the time of
his death.
The surname Gilley is derived from Gill. According to "The Dictionary of Surnames", Oxford University Press,
Gill is English from short form of given names Giles, Julian or William. It is also N. English for a topographic name for
someone who lived in a ravine or deep glen. Because of the early immigration to the Americas, there is no reason to believe,
in this case, that it is derived from Irish or Scots versions.

From this precious little
book I found at my library-"The Planters of Colonial Virginia" by Thomas J. Wertenbaker, Russell & Russell, New York,
copyrights 1922, 1958, 1959. Here is the preface of his book
"America since the days of Captain John Smith has been
the land of hope for multitudes in Europe. In many an humble home, perhaps in some English village, or an Ulster farm, or
in the Rhine valley, one might find a family assembled for the reading of a letter from son, or brother, or friend, who had
made the great venture of going to the New World. "Land is abundant here and cheap," the letter would state. "Wages are high,
food is plentiful, farmers live better than lords. If one will work only five days a week one can live grandly."
In pamphlets
intended to encourage immigration the opportunities for advancement were set forth in glowing colors. In Virginia alone, it
was stated, in 1649, there were "of kine, oxen, bulls, calves, twenty thousand, large and good." When the traveler Welby came
to America he was surprised to "see no misery, no disgusting army of paupers, not even beggars; while Henry B. Fearson noted
that laborers were "more erect in their posture, less careworn in their countenances" than those in Europe.
In Virginia,
as in other colonies, it was the cheapness of land and the dearness of labor which gave the newcomer his chance to rise. The
rich man might possess many thousands of acres, but they would profit him nothing unless he could find the labor to put them
under cultivation. Indentured workers met his needs in part, but they were expensive, hard to acquire, and served for only
four years. If he hired freemen he would have to pay wages which in England would have seemed fantastic.
Thus the so-called
servants who had completed their terms and men who had come over as freeman found it easy to earn enough to buy small plantations
of their own. That thousands did so is shown by the Rent Roll which is published as an appendix to this book [rents paid to
the Crown for the year 1704-1705 by parish/county.] One has only to glance at it to see that the large plantations are vastly
outnumbered by the small farms of the yeomen. It proves that Virginia at the beginning of the eighteenth century was not the
land of huge estates, worked by servants and slaves, but of a numerous, prosperous middle class.
Owning plantations of
from fifty to five hundred acres, cultivating their fields of tobacco, their patches of Indian corn and wheat, their vegetable
yards and orchards with their own labor or the labor of their sons, the yeoman enjoyed a sense of independence and dignity.
It was their votes which determined the character of the Assembly, it was they who resisted most strongly all assaults upon
the liberties of the people…..The yeoman class in Virginia was doomed. In the face of the oncoming tide [of slave labor]
they had three alternatives-to save enough money to buy a slave or two, to leave the country, or to sink into poverty.
It
was acquiring of a few slaves by the small planter which saved the middle class. Before the end of the colonial period a full
fifty per cent of the slave holders had from on to five only. Seventy-five per cent had less that ten. The small farmer, as
he led his newly acquired slaves from the auction block to his plantation may have regretted the self-preservation that forced
him to depend upon their labor rather than his own. But he could see all around him the fate of those who had no slaves, as
they became "poor white trash." And he must have looked on with pity as a neighbor gathered up his meager belongings and,
deserting his little plantation, set out for the remote frontier….."
Thomas J. Weternbaker, Princeton, New Jersey,
August, 1957
This is a terrific book to understand the colonial Virginia and influences for the average Virginian.
He reminds us that "in almost all of Virginia colonial history one of the chief methods of raising revenue for the Government
was the direct poll tax. This levy was laid, however, not only on every freeman over sixteen years of age, but upon male servants
over 14, female servants who worked in the fields, and slaves above 16 of either sex, all of whom were officially termed tithables."
Another
place, he goes on to state "The terms of indenture not only took for granted that the servant, upon completing his contract,
would establish himself as a proprietor, but usually made it obligatory for the master to furnish him with the equipment necessary
for his new life. With rare exceptions he received a quantity of grain sufficient to maintain him for one year; two suits,
one of Kersey, the other of cotton; a pair of canvas drawers; two shirts; and one felt hat. The historian Beverly states that
to this outfit was added a gun worth twenty shillings. Another writer tells us that the freedmand received "a year's provision
of corne, double apparel' and a supply of tools." P 61.

B. Gilley, Jr. and the son of William Bales Gilley, however Ifeel there are serveral factors that indicate that he is not
