Hi Bev, It sounds like we're probably reated in some way. My sister-in-law is a Wiles, my aunt married a Shannon, some of my ancestors were Fortneys, and some of my ancestors were Watkins' - all from the Tunnelton area. Some of my ancestors were Wolfes too, but from the Bruceton Mills area. I can't answer any of your questions, but would be happy to share anything else I have on these families.
