Dear Susan, I am new at this genealogy stuff, and I have been out of town so often watching our daughter who is a golfer-- currently playing at the USGA Women's Amaeur in Portland--Sorry, I am so proud of her! She is only 19, but very like her great grandmother who wrote the information I am passing on to you now. It may be incorrect, but Leone
Price Brien Dillon, my husband's grandmother, took great pride in being a member of the DAR and The Daughters of the Republic of
Texas. She has written: Five
Irish brothers came to S.C. before the Revolutionary War. Their names were Anthony
Storey, George
Storey, John
Storey, Henry
Storey and James
Storey. Anthony
Storey married Sarah
Faris. Their children were George, Thomas, Henry, Edward and Robert. Edward
Storey, son of Anthony, married Margaret
Thompson. Their children were John
Thompson Storey, Anthony F. Storey, William
Storey, Margaret
Thompson Storey, Nancy
Caster Storey, Sarah
Faris Storey, Richard Addison
Storey, Edward Maddison
Storey and
Alonzo G. Storey. John
Thompson Storey married Lucy
McLester. Their children were Caroline, Calvin Lawrence, Julia Ann, Richard
Lawson, Theodore
Columbus, John
McLester, Edward
Faris, James Gray, Lucy Caroline, Leonidas Jefferson, Horatio
Emmet. James Gray
Storey married Sallie Cheatham. However, John
Thompson Storey and Lucy
McLester Storey (parents of James Gray
Storey) moved to
Texas with their first 3 children in 1846. Edward
Faris Storey moved to
Nevada and was killed by Native Americans, which I presume already lived there! The county of
Storey, in
Nevada was named after him and he has a statue erected in Va. City in his memory. Leone, my husband's grandmother and the author of this information, was a grand daughter of Julia Ann
Storey , who married Joseph T. Price, and whose parents were Kate
Storey Price and James Tubb
Brien. Leone joined the DAR under the Esther McCory chapter and the DRT through the
Palo Duro Chapter. She states that the Registrar General of the DAR advised her she had 6 lines on file in Washington on which she was eligible, so I don't know if she joined under the
Storey line or the
Price line. Her great grandfather, Charles T. Price left North Carolina and went to
Rome,
Georgia, where he married Ann
Thompson. One of Charles T. Price and Ann
Thompson Price's daughters, Julia Caroline
Price married Milam
Polk. I have tried to branch out as much as possible, but I don't know if I've helped at all, because, it seems James Gray
Storey would have been born around 1850! Hope this helps someone. Please respond if you know anything else! Katharine
