STALEY This branch of the Staley fam- ily in Montgomery county was founded by Henry Staley, who, with his brothers, Jacob, Oliver and Ricker, came to America prior to the revolutionary war. They entered the Mohawk Valley and secured large tracts of new and well timbered land in the southeast of the present town of Florida. They were of the usual well-known log cabin, hardy, industrious, pioneer class, and literally fought for an existence in the first years of their occupancy of the land. The wild creatures of the forest lurked to do them harm, while the heavily wooded land must first be subdued before it would yield the family subsistence. Through such experience Henry Staley lived, married, and reared a family. His wife was Bridget Van Huesen, daughter of one of the Dutch pioneers, and trained for life's battle in the same school as her husband. They became possessed of a very large farm, part of which is yet in pos- session of the family. On it were born their children : 1. Susannah, born January 22, 1776. 2.

The family of Clem- ents was raised to the peerage with the title. of Earls of Leitrim. The Earls of Leitrim, also had seats in Kildare.
