Williams in the online digest I found written by Tad Evans. www.lib.byu.edu/fhc/index/php Go to that url, do an author search for Tad Evans, and find his "The News from Rhine, Milan, and Old Telfair." He specifically discusses the steamboat explosion. I think there are also documents about Thomas and Wiley settling their father's will. Then there are tons of mentions of Wiley, who was a prominent soldier and citizen in the area for years to come. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
