Subject: [MERCER] WILEY/WYLIE and PORTER - Donegal and Derry, Ireld; OH and IN, USA
Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2001 11:58:37 EDT
Has anyone any interest in the names PORTER and WILEY or WYLIE in the area
around Londonderry, Ireland, circa 1800?
I need names of the parents of Samuel and Sarah (Porter) Wiley (Wylie on
family Bible), married in 1847, settled on the west edge (Washington Tp.) of
Mercer Co., OH. Some desc. and collaterals moved back and forth between Ohio
and Indiana, and I suspect some of their ancestors did the same in Ireland.
Samuel Wiley was described on marriage certificate as 'bachelor of
Derryvane', Parish of Muff, Co. Donegal, a very short distance from
Londonderry.
They are buried in Stephenson Cem., Jay Co., IN, just across the INdiana/OHio
state line.
Their daughter Minerva Wiley (Mrs. Zachary T. ) Hastings lived on the state
line in Indiana, but had a Fort Recovery, OH, address. I would like to find
out who her grandparents Wiley (WYLIE on family Bible) were. Robert WYLIE
signed church transfer certificate from Parsih of Muff - father?, brother?,
cousin?
William Porter (brother?) sailed with Samuel and Sarah from Londonderry, and
later William Porter and wife Mary are on the same Macedon church roll with
son W. Moses and dau. Martha Anne, born abt 1860.
Would Martha Anne Porter have married a BARR? [have a photo of 'Barr sisters'
- cousins (Wiley? or Hastings?) - Joliet, IL, late 1800s]
