My Haley/Healy/Healey Line of Descent
1. Gladys Viola Healey (3 Oct 1898, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA- 21 Dec 1998, Lodi, San Joaquin, CA) married Elmer John Shinn, they were my great-grandparents. She was the daughter of:
2. Lauren Everett Healey (27 Aug 1873, Newark, Alameda, CA- 11 Feb 1959, Santa Clara Co., CA) and Kathryn Nielsen (25 Nov 1875, Mt. Eden, Alameda, CA- 12 Mar 1918, Alameda, Alameda, CA. He was son of:
3. Comfort Gordon Healy/Healey (28 June 1838, Shelburne, Nova Scotia, CAN- 20 Apr 1910, San Francisco, SF, CA) and Mary Gertrude Mott (8 Sept 1852, Benicia, Solano, CA- 27 July 1927, San Francisco, SF, CA). Son of:
4. Ebenezer Haley/Healy (11 Mar 1801, Chebogue, Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, CAN- 7 Dec 1897, Newark, Alameda, CA) and Mary Lee Scott (Feb 1809, Nova Scotia, CAN- 25 Jan 1893, CA). He was son of:
5. Comfort Haley (ca. 1758, Brimfield, Hampden, MA- 13 May 1821, Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, CAN) and Mrs. Hannah Ellis Tinkham (4 Feb 1765, Yarmouth, NS, CAN- 17 Jan 1862, Yarmouth, NS, CAN). Son of:
6. Ebenezer Haley (21 Jan 1709/08/or 07, Rehoboth, Bristol, MA- 14 Feb 1777, Chebogue, Yarmouth. NS, CAN) and Grace Bullen (13 Oct 1727, Brimfield, Hampden, MA- ca. 1790, Chebogue, Yarmouth, NS, CAN)
The Haleys were New England Planters and I believe the Ellis' were too as well as the Hiltons (Mary Lee Scott's mother's family), and the Scotts. Not much is known about the Bullens, though I have heard rumors that the name was originally Boleyn and that they were related to THAT Boleyn family. The Motts were an old Long Island family and my Motts went to Mexico in the 1830s. Mary Gertrude Mott's father worked for the American Consul in Mazatlan as well as the Pacific Steam Co. as a merchant and businessman. He was ruined by the Mexican War and relocated to California where Mary Gertrude was born. Kathryn Nielsen family was Danish from Schleswig-Holstein, Germany and came to the US around 1870. The Shinns are descended from the original Burlington Co., New Jersey Shinns. Like the Haleys, my Shinns came to California during the Gold Rush and when they didn't strike rich, they decided to farm with the Haleys (by now Healys) settling in Newark, Alameda, CA and the Shinns in San Joaquin Co., CA)

Hi Heather,
I actually knew most of that information on Grace Bullen but I've seen contradictory things over the years which make me take it with a grain of salt. Lately I've been trying to tie the family to the Boleyns but am not having much luck so I don't put a lot of stock into that rumor... Thanks for trying to help though,
Leah

You can find a good copy of the Prescott/Gawkroger line on the web or in a good history of Lancaster. The Prescott line goes way back in history. Samuel Bullen Resided at Redgrave and Burgate, Suffolk, England, and at Watertown, MA (1635), Dedham, MA (1636), and Medfield, MA (1651). Samuel was a signer of The Covenant of Dedham, MA, in 1636.
