    1. [DONEGALEIRE] Wiley and Porter families of Derry region of Donegal
    2. Leigh, Sharon
    3. I'm looking for ancestors and siblings of Samuel Wiley (Wylie) b. ca. 1803 and his wife, Sarah Porter b. ca. 1810-1815. They were married in Muff parish, Co. Donegal in May 1847 and came to the U.S. in July? 1847 aboard the "Venice." They came into Philadelphia port and wound up on the Indiana/Ohio border near Ft. Recovery, Mercer Co., Ohio, according to the 1850 U.S. Census. Sarah's brother was Alexander Porter who also lived in the same region as did Samuel's brother, Joseph Wiley and family. Joseph and family requested church entry in 1869. Samuel and Sarah's first born son was named Moses-I don't know if that helps with the ancestary or not. I don't know if they followed Irish naming patterns. Sharon Leigh (nee Wiley) slnelson@indiana.edu
