Bev, Thomas Shay (Jr) was the son of Thomas & Bridget OShea/Shay. Mrs Ellen Copper <fec3@vicon.net> of State College PA is writing a book on the Hastings, Sidwell and Shay families. The only reference I have found of a middle name for Deborah (Shay) Shannon is the obituary of her daughter Sarah Wiles which lists her parents as Wm and Debran Shay Shannon. Deborah Ann? Here is a possibility for your Daniel Wiles: 1860 census Preston Co (Tunnelton) 2112-2103 Hannah Wiles 32 Va Sarah C 13 Va Alcinda 10 Va DANIEL 9 Va John W 4 Va 1850 census Preston Co 300-300 Henry S Wile 25 Va Farmer Hannah 21 Va Sarah K 3 Va Susan 2 Va Alcinda 1 Va Morton's History of Preston County page 479 Henry Wile, son of Henry & Catharine (Whitehair) Wile, m. Hannah Watkins. My note: Hannah was the daughter of James & Sarah (Ambrose) Watkins. Morton's History of Preston County page 433: Malinda Funk, daughter of John & Eunice Funk m. Henry Shaver. page 466: Henry Shaver, son of Arnold & Susan Shaver, married Melinda Funk. The 1989 Fortney genealogy is still in print but not many copies remain.
