Thomas Jolliffe and Margaret Skinner 1600s England, Left England and went to St. Michaels, Barbadoes For political reasons. they resided at Colton Hall. Later Thomas was reinstataed as High Sheriff of Stafford County. Son: John Thomas Jolley III born 1642 (heir) settled in Norfolk Virginia on the Elizabeth River. In 1663, John Married Mary or Maria Rigglesworth, daughter of Peter Rigglesworth of Norfolk Virginia. Their Children were Joseph, John, Thomas, Peter, Sarah, Elizabeth, Mary. Joseph Jolly b 1663 (heir) sold estate in Norfolk Va around 1737 and moved. He had several children but I only have the name of one. William Jolly b 1695 Norfolk Va. I am looking for a connection to Stephen Jolly born 1761 or 1770 Dinwiddle, Va. died 1845 Bedford Tennessee. Stephen Jolly lived in Virgina, Chatham Co, North Carolina, Warren Co, Kentucky, Jackson Co. Alabama and Bedford Co Tennessee. Stephen's father possibly John Jolly b 1731 Dinwiddle Va. I believe his ancestry goes back to John Jolly b 1620 Dorset England, Arrival 1642 Henrico Virginia, died 1671 Henrico, Virginia. The trees I have looked at have the two Johns mixed up
