The Tuley Family Memoirs, published in 1906, page 9.
"The Tuley family's ancestors came to this Country about two hundred and fifty years ago. They were French Huguenots, rather descendents of those of that faith who fled to England after the St. Bartholomew Massacre in 1572. Three brothers named Tule' landed in South Carolina during the last quarter of the 17th Century. One of these went to Louisiana, another up into New York State, and a third, Peter, is supposed to be the progenitor of the Virginia branch of the family, however a record of the Old Bristow Parish Churchyard at Williamsburg, Va. shows that a Mr. Tuley was buried there in 1663. In 1729 one Thomas Tuley was married at Burlington, New Jersey, to Mary Scott, a native of England, and from a family of high repute. Whether or not this was a descendent of Peter, the grandson of the Tuley buried at Williamsburg, or a descendent of the brother that went from South Carolina to New York is a question difficult of solution."
