John Wiley (Wylie/Wyley) is my 7G grandfather. It is believed he was born ca 1720 [s/b likely closer to 1715] in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. From the research of Laurie Gerber, we have found that John married Catherine Chambers 3 Oct 1738 which was recorded at the 1st Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
John's children were all baptised at the church aforementioned. Son John was born 15 Jul 1739 and baptised 1 Aug 1739. Son Peter - See below. Son Alexander was born 29 Aug 1742 and was baptised 13 Sep 1742. Daughter Mary was born 10 Jul 1744 and was baptised 2 Aug 1744. There are more children, but these are the only ones listed through the church. John Wiley was quite a landowner. On 19 Aug 1765, John deeded 400 acres of land to sons Peter and Alexander. John's will was proven 20 Nov 1792 by John Davis and John Wiley Jr. It was written 3 Jan 1792 and divided his estate between sons John, Peter and Alexander. He signed it John Wylie. His date of death is listed as 1 Sep 1792 in Kentucky.
