The first record of George Ealy and Michael Ely is in 1773, when they were taxed in Lebanon Township (now Lebanon County, Pennsylvania), at which time they were both under 30 years of age. George was married in 1771 and Michael in 1772. They were likely related to John and George Ihli, who landed at Philadelphia in 1754.
George Ealy can be found in Pine Grove Township (now Schuylkill County) by 1779, and in Shamokin Township, Northumberland County, in 1800. He came to Canton (now South Franklin Township) in 1807, and in 1822 he went to East Finley Township, where he died in 1830. He fathered eleven children and was one of the founders of the Fairmont United Methodist Church.
Of the two men George Ealy was b.ca.1744, d.1830 E. Finley Twp., m.1771 to Christina Strosnider (she b.ca.1751, was still living in 1830). Their children were:
