Notes for John Schooley and Elizabeth Fletcher

1633 John Scholey married Elizabeth Fletcher, daughter of Richard and Alice Ellice Fletcher, all of Rotherham, on 13 April in Rotherham parish [1]. John Scholey married Elizabeth Fletcher on 23 April, 1633 in Rotherham Parish [2]. John Scoley, yeoman, Treeton, and Elizabeth Fletcher, spinster, [married] 1633 in Rotherham, either place [3].

We are researching Thomas Schooley [4], who married Sarah Parker in New Jersey. Some researchers have concluded that this John Schooley and Elizabeth Fletcher were the parents of Thomas Schooley. We have seen no records indicating that John Schooley and Elizabeth Fletcher had children. We seek evidence about the descendants of John Schooley and Elizabeth Fletcher.

Some researchers have named Richard Scholey [5] father of Anthony Schooley and sister of Alice Hodgson, as the father of this John Schooley. We have found no evidence that Richard Schooley had a son named John.
