    link Anderson find insufficient evidence that John Wylie who migrated in 1635 on the Elizabeth & Ann is the John Wiley bound to George Orris and the John Wiley of Reading. Regarding the John Wiley of Reading Anderson states he appeared earlier in 1648 in Watertown and married Elizabeth Clough and two children were recorded there John and Mary before he removed to Reading. Her refers to Pope 498 and two sketches by Savage 550 & 663 as being this same man which include several other children in Reading. In the Great Migration Directory listing for John Wiley of Watertown and Reading who appears in 1640 he cites Goodman Anc 585-86 but does not identify this source. See The Great Migration Directory below. Anderson believes the man who arrived by 1640 and bound himself to John White is the same man who married in 1644 to Elizabeth Cough in Watertown and removed to Reading by 1648.

    Robert Charles Anderson states these entries are for the same man (except he did not arrive in 1635):

    WILEY
    JOHN, Reading 1640, or at least an early sett.
    TIMOTHY, Reading, the freem. of 1690, may have been s. of the preced. Easy is it to mistake this name for Willey, either in index or rec.

    WYLEY, WEYLEY, WILLEY, WYLIE, or WILEY
    JOHN, Reading, may be the passeng. in the Elizabeth and Ann, aged 25, from London, in May 1635, of wh. I would gladly tell more than is seen in the rec. that he had Susanna, b. 16 July 1655; and Sarah, 4 May 1658.
