NOTES: See "Doubts About the Finley Line." My brother Josh points out there is no substantial evidence disputing the Finley family's own recognition of James McGrew as the husband of Mary Finley (i.e., it is not the conventional situation of the less established line claiming a dubious but convenient kinship), so this site will resolve the issue that way unless and until more solid evidence calls that into question.
"Clan Finley" says he is of Methlen, but gives no parentage. His wife descends from nobility, so her line is better known.
