He was a gunner in the Castle at the seige of Bell Isle (He served in the reign of the last three kings of England). In the Parish of Carrickfergus is listed the marriage of Robert Finley to Susanna Patterson, daughter of Robert Patterson of Strabane, County Tyrone, Ireland, on May 16, 1740.
The eldest son, John Finley died at the Parish of Choghill County Antrim and his will mentions his son, Francis, his son, John, who was in America at that time, his son James, and a daughter, Margaret, who had married Mat Blakely. The second son, William, left a will dated Jan. 1, 1816 and mentions his sons, James, Mathew, Pat, Robert, John and daughter, Agnes. There is little information concerning the other children of Robert Finley and Susanna Patterson in the writings of Major France, indicating to us that Susanna, Mathew, David, and Thomas might have migrated to America, thus accounting for the absence of records in Scotland. We do know that James died at Belturbet, unmarried, in 1817 Conner and Masters, pioneer families of Guernsey County, Ohio; ... Conner, E.
