I have found three different Wiles Families in America. Branch #1 came from Germany and their name was WEIL there. They immigrated to Philadelphia and then went West. Branch #2 is of the Abraham Wilds Familiy. Abraham settled in North Carolina and then his family spread out from there. Many family members still live in NC, but some moved to Northern Indiana. Branch #3 has been traced to middle Tennessee. This is my line. They lived in the Maury and Marshall Counties area of Tennessee. Many of this branch then moved to Lawrence County Arkansas in the mid 1850's. Many family members live there today. I have found no connection between any of the branches.
