Note: David Wiley was referenced in a newspaper article interview on Mother's Day, 1925 in Birmingham, AL. The person interviewed was my 2nd great grandmother, Emma L. Wiley. In that article she states. .

"The first ancestor I know of," continued Mrs. Hernandez, (her married name) "was David Wiley, a Presbyterian preacher, during the religious war of Scotland, and one of Cromwell's Ironsides. At his death he left a widow and four sons.

"The widow, seeing no chance for her sons to rise in Ireland, and hearing of this land of freedom across the waters, bid farewell to the Emerald Isle and sailed for America, landing in Pennsylvania about the year 1760.

I don't believe that David Wiley was this Oliver Wiley's father. See my note on David Wiley.

Decendents:

1. Oliver Wiley
