(Source: U.S. Civil War Draft Registration Records, 1863-1865, Illinois, 2nd, Vol. 5 of 5) He married Jane Perry. The children to this union are listed on her record. Biography source: 1890 Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Story County, Iowa "William H. Golly, farmer and stock-raiser, Zearing, Iowa. Personal popularity, it cannot be denied, results largely from the industry, perseverance and close attention to business which a person displays in the management of any particular branch of trade. And in the case of Mr. Golly this is certainly true, for he has adhered so closely to farming and the stock industry that high esteem has been placed upon him. He was born in Oneida County, N. Y., October 25, 1846, and was the eldest of three children: (William H., Lilias and Mary J.), the result of the union of John S. and Catherine (Logan) Golly, natives also of York State. The father was born in March, 1821, came to Story County in the fall of 1864, and located with his family on the southeast quarter of Section 15, Lincoln Township, where he has a splendid farm of 160 acres. He was one of nine children born to Andrew and Lilly (Scott) Golly, both natives of County Tyrone, Ireland. Andrew was one of the following children: Andrew, Joseph, John, Polly and Lydia. The three sons came to America at an early day, and were among the early settlers of Oneida County, N. Y. The Gollys were Protestants, and were reared in the Presbyterian Church. William H. Golly came with his parents to Story County at the age of eighteen years, and in 1868 he started out for himself as an agriculturist, buying the north-west quarter of Section 23, Lincoln Township. He selected for his companion in life Miss Jane Perry, a native of England, and the daughter of William and Mary (Menhennet) Perry, natives also of England. Their marriage was consummated November 18, 1869, and to them were born ten children: Frederick H., Lillian M., M. Myrtle, Claud E., Clarence R., Walter S., William H., Catherine, Perry and Russell L. Our subject is the owner of 720 acres of good land in the county, all of which he has accumulated by his own exertions and economy. He has good buildings on his place, and, take him all in all, is one of the representative farmers and stockmen of the county. He and Mrs. Golly were both successful teachers in the county for some time. In politics he affiliates with the Democratic party, and has held various offices in the township. He is connected with the A. F. & A. M. Mr. Golly's mother and both sisters died in Illinois in 1850. His father afterward returned to New York and in 1854 married Miss Eliza J. Mitchell, of New York. They have one son, John M., of Story County. Mr. Golly and wife expect to make Story County their home for the future, and here, surrounded by their children and many warm friends, may they live long in peace and happiness."
