How I missed this message I don't know. Yes,
Samuels mother was my gggrandfathers 2nd wife, Martha E. Carter
Yeakley. I am stuck at John Franklin Wileys beginnings. He was supposedly raised by his grandmother and never knew his father. Therefore a lack of a paper trail since I don't know her or his mother or
Fathers name. IGI says he was born in Natchez, Ms. 3/2/1852. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. You are welcome to any info i have on Wileys or Yeakleys.
