Eesley Family History (1985)
Mary Eesley Bean's 1985 indented descendant register of the Eesley family — generations I through VII, with Goldie immigration narrative, the flour-mill prehistory, and an address appendix (the appendix is excluded from the public site per the project's privacy rules). This is the relationship backbone for the paternal line in this archive.

Mary Eesley Bean — sister of Will Eesley, great-aunt of Chuck, and the most important figure in the previous generation of family record-keepers on the paternal side — compiled this register in 1985, in Narberth, Pennsylvania, with the cover drawing of the Goldie flour mill by her brother Will. The register opens with a narrative section on the family’s emigration from England via Scotland, then walks the descendant line in indented generations I through VII, and ends with an address appendix.
The address appendix is the reason this archive’s privacy rules exist. The PDF preserves it; the public site does not surface it.
Almost every person on the paternal side of this site — from Joseph and Frances Eesley of Hanwell down to the present generation — was first traced through Bean’s register. The Oxford library research notes from Chuck’s 2018 trip extended her line backward into the 18th century, but the bridge from England through Scotland to Marietta and beyond is hers.
