Thanks for all the responses to my Wiley Jones query. However my Wiley Jones is not the one with the Ala. connections. My Wiley J Jones was from SC. Not sure of birth place could be SC or Va. He married Laura Bailey . They moved to Miss. then on to Ar. before 1860. He and Laura had 3 children. Coleman, Pinkney, and William. Pinkney married Sarah Umanzo Gulley. They had 12 children My Grandmother Emma Frances Jones was their only daughter. She married James Robert Boyce. His father was John L Boyce, mother Amanda Reese Boyce. Still looking for my Wiley J Jones parents. Betty Doherty
