Sue:
Has your search included (or better, found) WILEYs in Conway/Pope/Faulkner counties of
Arkansas?
My ggm was Rebecca (Ann) Cato, married Andrew Jackson Wiley in 1859 in Conway County.
There were Wileys in Conway County in the 1820s (Abraham, Isaiah, Obediah, and William)
around Greenbriar, which is now Faulkner County.
I have not found an origin for Andrew Jackson Wiley - census records indicate he was born
in Arkansas. His gravestone says b. 1823, d 1904. The Wiley place was about a mile north
and a bit east of Appleton, in Pope County. AJ, Rebecca, her mother Anne Cato, and many
children and grandchildren are buried at the family cemetery there.
Thanks,
Vance Wiley
