Who am I?
The Linley Company is really one person; Chris Johnson. I have held various positions in Sales & Marketing for over 24 years, seventeen of them in the stone industry. To read my resume, click hereI represent two products;
My maternal grandmother was born Blanche Linley (and Linley is my middle name). She was always interested in her "English cousins", and as a result, she turned much of the family into musicians, modeled after the great Linley's of Bath. As for myself, I am an amateur composer and play a few instruments for personal enjoyment only. But there are professional musicians in the family, including my mother who is a retired Pianist.
It would be nice to claim blood relations to the Linleys of Bath. However, "our side" of the Linley family came over to the Connecticut colony around 1634. That would put us a split off from the English tree long before any Linley's got famous in Bath. Hence, I do not think we have any way of proving a link, but at best it would be a parallel branch. Perhaps we are even from Yorkshire (another Linley branch)?!? The name and the music, therefore, is to honor ancestors near and far. Interestingly, I receive emails from Linley's who stumble accross this site, and I always love to hear from them. We are a small clan.
