Promoted to Full Lieutenant 3rd Class on 08 October 1862 Wounded on 11 October 1863 at Bristoe Station, VA Promoted to Full Lieutenant 2nd Class on 28 November 1863 Hospitalized on 16 September 1864 at Charlotte, NC (Chronic diarrhoea) On rolls on 30 September 1864 Returned on 05 November 1864 Paroled on 26 May 1865 at Charlotte, NC Name: William J Wiley Enlistment Date: 17 Apr 1861 Side Served: Confederacy State Served: North Carolina Service Record: Promoted to Full Lieutenant 2nd Class (As of Co. F, 5th Cav Regt) Enlisted as a Private on 17 April 1861 at the age of 23 Enlisted in Company B, 1st Infantry Regiment North Carolina on 17 April 1861. Mustered out Company B, 1st Infantry Regiment North Carolina on 12 November 1861 Gordon, I have reviewed the information I have on Mary Trollinger, dau. of Joseph J. Trollinger(1822-1904). She married William Wiley 1869. The two sources I have (both secondary) refer to him as Capt. Wiley. (This of course is not confirmed by the Civil War records). One source is the 1926 reunion lecture "Patriots and Pioneers" by Dr. Thornton Whitsett. The other source is a 1937 genealogy chart put together by Dr. J. A. Hunter of Elon College. I suspect that the 1926 material was used in preparing this chart. However, the 1926 lecture refers to "William Wiley", and the 1937 chart refers to "James Wiley." I discovered another puzzle. The "American Civil War Research Database" has the identical information you sent me except, They do not list 'wife: Mary Trollinger, dau. of Joseph J. Trollinger', but added: Other Information: born in Emory, VA died 7/15/1895 in Ashe County, NC (Born 1844. Attended Emory & Henry College. Wife; Helen Palmiter. Mercantile, 1876.) After the War he lived in Ashe County, NC Sources used by Historical Data Systems, Inc.: - The Virginia Regimental Histories Series (c) Historical Data Systems, Inc. @ www.civilwardata.com <http://www.civilwardata.com> This seems to suggest that Mary died, or he left prior to 1876. But both sources show they had six children. This genealogy search seems to lead to more and more questions! Thanks, Dan Trollinger (Note I think the Wiley listed as attended Emory and Henry is a different one due to the discrepancy in death dates GLD) WILEY, James C. died April 29, 1911, aged 74 years near Graham former Confederate soldier Burial at New Providence Church Gleaner May 4, 1911
