Around 1735, James Halley (1707-1785) emigrated to America, married Elizabeth Simpson (1717-1785), and became a prosperous planter and farmer in Fairfax County. The couple had twelve children, six sons and six daughters. Two of James and Elizabeth’s great-great-grandchildren were William F. Halley (1874-1954) and Sallie Halley (1871-1952). They were born at Smokey Castle which stood in what is now South Run Park. Sallie never married and worked as a housekeeper in the Burke, Virginia area until her death at age 80. She is buried in the Fairfax City Cemetery.","She and her brother William Francis Halley both attended the Ox Road School which was located near the present-day Crosspointe Fire Station on Ox Road. Report cards signed by their teacher, Rezin H. Harrover, are included in this scrapbook. William Halley left school in the fifth grade and started a sawmill business. For over forty years, he roamed the forests of Virginia and North Carolina hauling his portable sawmill to cut up trees for timber.","In 1896, Halley married Dorsey Carol Beach in Washington, D.C. They had three children together and settled on a farm in Fairfax Station, Virginia. As a sawmill operator, the Fairfax County School Board hired Halley to provide firewood for the local rural schools. He later supplied the timber to rebuild the Lorton School after it burned down and convinced the school board to provide the first permanent school bus route in the Silverbrook Road vicinity. At age 80, Halley passed away suddenly at the home of his son, William F. Halley, Jr., in Fairfax Station. He is buried in Lee Chapel Cemetery in Burke, Virginia. William F. Halley Elementary School was named for him, and it opened on September 5, 1995. Halley's pocket watch and cuff links are currently on display in the school.","It is unknown which member of the Halley family created the scrapbook in this collection.

As a sawmill operator, the Fairfax County School Board hired Halley to provide firewood for the local rural schools. He later supplied the timber to rebuild the Lorton School after it burned down and convinced the school board to provide the first permanent school bus route in the Silverbrook Road vicinity. At age 80, Halley passed away suddenly at the home of his son, William F. Halley, Jr., in Fairfax Station. He is buried in Lee Chapel Cemetery in Burke, Virginia. William F. Halley Elementary School was named for him, and it opened on September 5, 1995. Halley's pocket watch and cuff links are currently on display in the school.","It is unknown which member of the Halley family created the scrapbook in this collection.
