Census (1850, 1860, 1870, 1880,and 1890 Vet Sched) all show Wiley and Sarah (Hendrickson) lived in Laurel County. He died in 1893 there. Other researchers have given the marriage date of Jan 4 1831 in Straight Creek, Harlan Co, KY but none of them that I have been able to reach have any documentation. Harlan Co Clerk says no records under those names. I've sent to Bell Co. Clerk requesting search since Straight Creek later abt 1840 or 1850 became part of Bell Co. I thought maybe all records were sent there. 'Tis a puzzlement! Still looking for 1830 and 1840 census records for Wiley. Thanks again for the effort and any other suggestions will be very much appreciated.
