Hi Richard,
Can you find your source for James Wiley's birth date... it may have come from Burl
Chance....I've got the same date, but failed to note my source... do you show the year
that Alexander III paid taxes on Sinking Creek, Lebanon, Wilson Co. Tenn? I have him
paying taxes in that county on Tax List for 1830, but more importantly, he purchased land
there in 1807, 1810, 1811. In 1800, he was in Montgomery Co., NC Census records, along
with 2 sons, under 10... without further documentation, it would appear he was in NC until
1807 when he moved to Wilson Co., Tn. Thus, the 2 young boys were also b. in NC, which
James Wiley confirms on the 1850 Ill. Census, but changes on the 1860 Census to Tn....
... this is what keeps life interesting....go figure!!!
Regards,
Earlayne
