CILLEY Family of Ottawa and Kent Counties This chapter deals with the families of three Cilley siblings who came from New York, probably St. Lawrence County, to Ottawa County. Cynthia Cilley is our ancestor, who married Christopher Salton, and her two brothers were James and Oscar. Not much is known yet about the parents, William Cilley and Charlotte Golden, and there may be other siblings who either stayed in New York or migrated elsewhere. There was a Cilley family who lived in Ionia County, but it is not known if they were related in any way to "our" Cilleys.
First Generation
1. WILLIAM 1 CILLEY, was born in New Hampshire. He married CHARLOTTE GOLDEN in New Hampshire. Most references give the birthplace of CHARLOTTE as Vermont, but one place states she was born in New York. William and Charlotte must have moved to New York some time after their marriage, as their children were all born in New York, except for Cyntha, who said in Census records she was born in Canada, so they may have lived there for a time. They were possibly from Andover, Merrimack Co, NH (Cilleyville?).WILLIAM CILLEY and CHARLOTTE GOLDEN had the following known children: + 2 i. CYNTHA LOUISA 2 CILLEY was born FEB 1820.+ 3 ii. Oscar F.

One of Mr. Cilley's favorite diversions was the composition of verses, and the following specimen is indicative of his attitude toward life: UNCERTAINTY Where nothing is known of sorrow? My life may stretch to a considerable span, It may be, perhaps, but tomorrow. Then let me so live my life, while yet here, That when I have gone, friends may say, He was honest and true, he'd deal fairly with you, He admired pure life and fair play. How soon will I pass to that beautiful realm, Where sorrow and sin have no place? It may be in an hour my life is o'erwhelmed, And I've come to the end of my race, Then let me so live, and to my fellow man give, Hist just dues, while dealing down here, That when I have heard the summoning word, I'll know nothing of worry or fear.
