I have been told that the Turleys originated in Ireland. The name was first spelled Turlough. from the last king of Ireland. yes, we are royalty. Turlough o'Connor. The 1st. Turley was found in the 1800's in Kentucky. James Turley. Where on this site, can I add more info.
My name is Sandy, and I was born to Arthur and Ann Turley in 1954. As I was growing up, I was always told that I was of English decent. But just recently, I found out that the Turley name is of Irish decent. I also sound out that the name was originally O'Conner. And that they lived in Ireland. Then the name switched to Turlough, and then to Turley. This was facinating to me, and I am wanting to shout it from the tree tops. I also found out that this person who gave me the information, said they were able to go back to 57AD. And that the Turley family was of royalty. I don't know if you have all this info, so if I added anything to your info here then it was helpful.
