NOTES: from Beau Bowen (THIS IS NOT PROVEN)
Mrs. Richard ILEY, born ca. 1772, Burke County, Georgia (a Creek Indian), died ca. 1810. Married Richard ILEY, about 1789. Richard is born about 1771 and is the son of Michael IHLEY, who arrived as a boy with his family aboard the Loyal Judith, January 1746. This is not yet proved.
I would like to know Mrs. Richard ILEY's name and clan affiliation. I suspect but do not know that she was descended from the Yamacraw town on the Savannah River.
The interesting thing is , the Salzburger Colony was close knit and kept good records. Michael falls out of their records after his indentureship. Michael wound up owning 1100 acres and several slaves in northern Georgia, but the Salzburgers opposed slavery.
Florida sources have said that there are a lot of Creek Indians living in northern Florida with the surname of IHLEY. Did Michael move south and live among the Creeks? Possibly even took a Creek wife? This sojourn in Creek Territory and the adoption of a Creek lifestyle, would not have sat well with the Lutheran Salzburgers, hence explaining the disconnection between the Salzburg community and the discontinuity of the records. This is all speculation and not proven
