town and Center Presbyterian Church, where

land, bringing back Irish linen in exchange 
for some commodity of this country. His 
daughter Jennette married James Edie. Mar-

Hi Maureen,

Thank you for trying!  I have been researching at Familyserach.org, and have seen the references you have here.  The 1803 immigration is too late.  There are many similarities in the Wiley family from southern Pennsylvania that you've described, but there are important differences in dates and places, and I just don't think it's the right one.  It is possible that my David Wiley is a brother to one of them, but I have found no connection yet.  It sure would make things easier if that was true!

Please let me know if you can think of any sources for earlier immigrations (1700s), or Wileys in Cork in Ireland.

Thanks much,

Julie
