[coosa1.ged]
Wiley was born in 1799 in North Carolina, probably in Rowan County. His
family emigrated to Georgia about 1792. This was in Hancock County,
Georgia by 1796 and in Jones County, Georgia before 1820. The John
Buckner estate disposed of land in Dooley County, Georgia, however, at
this time there is no evidence that they lived there. Wiley was in
Talbot County, Georgia by 1832 and died there in 1866. On his headstone
it is written that they came to Talbot Co., GA in 1832.
There is some conflict in naming the ancestor spouse of Wiley. There
is an account by John K. McEwen (probably written about 1930) which gives
Wiley’s wife as Miss Strauder. Another document credits an uninterrupted
sequence of children, including Tabitha Jane Buckner, to Wiley and Judith
Handley. The birth pattern does not suggest two marriages.
Wiley must have married about 1801, at which time he was residing in
Georgia. Strauder families are not found in Georgia. There were and are
Strawther families in Hancock and Monroe counties of Georgia. Handley
families are found in Madison, Decatur, Fayette, and Troup counties of
Georgia. It is possible that Judith Handley has had a previous marriage
and is Miss Strauder.
