TOLLIE CONLEY, son of DARIUS "COONIE" CONLEY and DORA I. CRACE, was born May 18, 1899 in Johnson County, Kentucky, died September 28, 1975 in Paintsville, Johnson County, Kentucky, and is buried in Conley Cemetery in Oil Springs, Johnson County, Kentucky. He married (1) MARGARET "MAGGIE" PENDLETON, daughter of GEORGE H. PENDLETON and MAHALA DELPHIA LEMASTER, about 1918. She was born in October of 1899 in Kentucky, and died April 26, 1936.

February 15, 1901, d. April 26, 1936) and then married (2) Zeltie Castle (b. 1909, d. 1956). Other research shows that Zelda's maiden name was Daniel.
