Joe, You are right--all census' show only the initials of Wiley B. Blakemore, Sr. He is found in the following Weakley County census': 1840--Listed as Blakemon, W. B.--District 7-Dresden. 1850--#60-District 7-Dresden 1860--#1243-1243-District 7-Dresden 1870--#123-370-371-District 7-Dresden He died 18 Jan 1875 in Dresden. Note that his wife, Catherine, is shown in all of the census' as being born in North Carolina-not Tennessee. Wiley Bashaw Blakemore, Jr. is listed in the 1880 Weakley Census as Wiley B. with 1st wife, Rebecca, who died in July of that year in Martin. He then married Florence B. Pearce in about 1884. She was the daughter of Unknown Pearce and Martha Unknown. She was born in Mississippi in Jul 1861 and died in 1926 in Weakley County. So this is the Wiley Bashaw Blakemore listed in the 1900 Weakley Census with children Willie ans Mattie Mai. I cannot find him in the 1920 Census but he is shown as living with his daughter, Pearl, and son-in-law Lee A. Elliott in District 2, Page 19B (Poplar St.). He died 5 Oct 1939 at the age of 90.
