• Notes

  James Henley built his home on Rock Maple Hill, at the foot of Molega Lake. That location is now known as Chelsea, a name which lends credence to the assertion that the HENLEY family was originally from Chelsey, England. [Bob H, based on material from Bridgewater Bulletin article of 30 Jun 1965 extracted by George Newbury].
