    1. Adam Wiley of northern York Co.
    2. Meg Wiley
    3. Hello, I'd like to ask for your help in my quest to find out more information about my gr.-gr.-grandfather, Adam Wiley. He was born in PA bet. 1849-1852 and married to Annie E. Baker (1854-1936), who was born in York Co., PA. Adam, a farmer, and Annie Wiley lived in Carroll Twp., York Co., PA (Dillsburg) for many years. They are buried in the Dillsburg Cemetery. Adam's tombstone says "1852-1912" but I'm not sure how accurate this is (his wife, Annie, is listed on the 1910 census by herself). Their eldest son, Clarence Augustus Wiley, was born in Rossville, Warrington Twp., York Co., PA in 1871. My difficulty has been in finding Adam's parents or other ancestors, because I'm not sure about his birth or death dates.* Does anybody have any information about Adam Wiley or the Wiley families in northern York Co., PA? I would so appreciate any information that anyone can share with me. Sincerely, Meg Wiley, Fayetteville, NC *Other notes: I found a Michael Wiley family in the 1850 U.S. census located in Warrington Twp., York Co., PA. It lists he and his wife, Leah, and two sons, Joseph (age 3) and Adam (age 2/12ths--the census is dated 16 Oct. 1850). There were other Wiley families, as well as Bentz families, who were neighbors (also farmers). I also have 2 newspaper clippings that were passed down in my family about Adam Wiley's death. Unfortunately, neither of them has a year on them, but they both mention Aug. 19 and that he was "about 60" years old. One clipping has Lancaster "Morning News" written on it, with the headline, "Killed by a Runaway Horse." The other clipping is titled "Dillsburg Farmer Killed in Runaway." Can someone suggest how I would go about finding these articles?)
