hi again Melissa!
I posted earlier on your Aaron Jones. Well now I'm curious about yourWiley Jones.
My GG grandfather had a brother named Wiley P. Jones whom I lost also after the 1870 Sevier Co. Arkansas Census. The strange thing here is that Wiley's mother was Nancy Elizabeth (Samuel) Jones. It was common to name their children after their mother or father. In the 1870 Sevier Co. Arakansas census, Wiley was living with his Widowed mother Nancy, but that's the last I have of her or him. My Wiley was born in 1852 in Hempstead Co Arkansas. I know Wileys brother Harrison, and sister Elizabeth migrated west in 1870, but have never been able to figure out what happened to Wiley, his mother Nancy or their sister Francis. I do know they left Arkansas.
may be just a name thing.........but who knows?
