Hillbillies & Vikings

This site is focused broadly on all descendants of John Denboe, an indentured servant who came to the Crown Colony of Maryland in about the year 1664. Also, it maintains a special emphasis on the descendants of John Denbow (1797-1862) and his brother Bazeleel (1795-1857), early pioneers in the hills of Southeastern Ohio, as well as the descendants of Jón Jónsson (1841-1934) of Dalasýsla, Iceland, who was an Icelandic immigrant to Canada and now has progeny throughout North America.

From page 16 of Ability, May-June-July 1910:  Willam E. Halley, Postmaster, Greenville.  Mr. Halley was born near Coletown, Darke county, O., in 1875, where he resided at the home of his father, Levi Halley, until the latter removed to Greenville and opened a hardware and implement store on Third street.  William clerked in his father's store when not at school.  He graduated with his class of G.H.S. in 1895, and then began reading law with Allread & Teegarden.  Soon after he was appointed Court Bailiff and abandoned his law course. Having taken an active part in politics from his youth, he was chosen Chairman of the Republican Central Committee, where he displayed great ability as a political organizer.  This position he held until he was appointed Postmaster of Greenville, in 1908, being the youngest man to ever hold that position in a city of equal population.  Mr. Halley is a man of splendid executive ability, cool-headed, warm-hearted and progressive. He married Delight, the youngest daughter of the late John Devore, a lawyer and ardent Republican politican of Greenville. The friends of Mr. Halley predict an upward political course for him, one far above local politics. Being a strong factor in the councils of his party, his leadership is the natural outcome.  Mr. Halley's father died in 1905. (Typed exactly as found)
