James Wiley or Wiley James Jones had a brother named Richard Jones that came to Fulton County, Illinois with him. James married Elmira Wright... they are my greatgrandparents... James Wiley had an Uncle I believe called Wiley "Dick" Jones... I correspond with my distant cousin from that connection... I would like to know if anyone has any more information or a connection perhaps... my great grandfather had the same name as his father who married Sarah Goldsmith in Fulton County... my great grandfather was born 1849 in Illinois, not Tennessee... it is his father James Wiley Jones (great great grandfather) born about 1821 in Tennessee ... moved with family to Illinois, married Sarah Goldsmith, had children... I do know he had a brother named Richard married an Augusta Smith (the one born in Illinois).. Augusta's father had married twice... sigh, gets confusing after awhile... senior James Wiley or Wiley James married Sarah, had Marietta, Vincent, Sarah, Isaac, Edward, Leonard, Richard, Eliza A., James Wiley*, Clarissa Adaline, and Nancy. -- http://www.genealogy4free.myfamily.com (tons of free stuff) by invitation only-- --------------------- Ask me about free ebooks dealing with genealogy such as: KENTUCKY PIONEER COURT RECORDS, HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY ILLINOIS, VITAL RECORDS OF TAUNTON MASSACHUSETTS to name a few.
