Doug Windley from Carolina (soon to be a member of this Forum) pointed this one out to me.

Interestingly it is believed that many of the African Americans who currently reside along the costal plains of North Carolina are descendents from a Windley slave plantation and it was customary to take the slave owners last name. Be interesting to see if we can get this one confirmed.

Here is another link about Windley Key http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windley_Key on Wiipedia.
