General Notes

"David became a leading citizen of Landgrove. He was elected a selectman in 1804 and several times thereafter; served as town treasurer and in other town offices; and for a number of years was the town's representative to the State legislature. His farm prospered, and to accommodate his large family he built a substantial house, long since disappeared, that stood near where the Laundons' new home has been built. David Wiley's eldest daughter, Mahala, married William Utley, son of Peabody and Seraphina Utley. If we include all the later Wiley marriages, and those in the Batchelder and Parker families, David Wiley, who died in Landgrove in 1864, at the age of 87, must have been hard put to list all of the individuals in Landgrove and the surrounding towns with whom he had family ties."
