Wiley's son Joseph was born abt. 1842. Edward and Martha had 11 children. Eliza, Joel, Elizabeth, Jessie Gale, Sarah, Mary, Narcissa, Serena "Rene", William, Thomas J. and Hannah. Joel b 1834 m Susan Pylant b. 1841, and married on May 16, 1861. They had 9 Children: Andrew, Eliza, William Gaines, Martha, Mary, Edd, Rene, Nannie and Maggie. I'm sure some of these were nicknames. Louise Gillenwater b. March 20, 1857 whose father was James Gillenwater and mother was Emily Price Gillenwater and they had 8 children. Louise married Andrew Cobb b. March 27, 1862. After Louise died in 1885 Andrew then married Irma Anderson. When Andrew died in 1889, Irma married William Gaines Cobb his brother in 1890. The 2 children from Andrew and Louise went to live with either Joel Cobb, thier Grandfather or Emily Price Gillenwater, their Grandmother. As a result Joel ended up married to Emily and raised Andrew and Louise's 2 children, Emma Susan Nancy Jane Cobb and James Joel Cobb.
