Land Record Magic, Scotch-Irish to German: The Wiley/Waly Family of York and Cumberland Counties

LAND RECORD MAGIC, SCOTCH·IRISHTO GERMAN THE WILEY/WALY FAMILY OF YORK D CUMBERLAND COUNTIES by Patricia Law Hatcher, PASG. M ichael Wiley was a immigrant who settled about 1800 in the northernmo t precincts of York County, 1 in th predominantly ScotchIrish townships of Fairview and Monaghan, which are separated from umberland County by Yellow Breeches Creek. His name was ScotchIrish. His daughter married into the Scotch-Irish Andersons, founder of Andersontown. It was obvious that Michael Wiley was a Scotch-Irish immigrant-until deeds were carefully studied, turning him into Michael Wahle, a second-generation German. The only biographical mention of Michael is in a sketch of his grandson, Joseph Anderson, the "son of William N. and Mary (Wiley) Anderson. . . . William Anderson . . . came into possession of the farm now owned by his son, our subject, through his father-in-law, Michael Wiley, who purchased it from a Mr. May." It was the search for these deeds (which were never found) that hinted at a far different family saga. Deeds indexed under "Wiley" turned out to have unexpected internal spelling variants, such as Wihley, Wable, and Wahly. Variations in spellings of surnames are not usually meaningful. Anglicization of names, differing ethnicity of the speaker and recorder, and illiteracy all mean that it is a rare surname that is spelled only one way in records. However, we expect the variances to be within certain bounds. Normally, the various spellings are phonetically similar. As each new Wiley spelling variant was uncovered and followed, additional records often emerged. The township to the south of Fairview and Monaghan is Warrington. It is not overly distant from Andersontown where Michael is buried. It • Patricia Law Hatcher is the editor of the Pennsylvania GenealogicalMagaz.ine.

But the Wiley family in Warrington Township was dearly German. Were there perhaps two different men of similar names? The adjoining property owners on the deeds suggested that the land might not be all that far separated, although in different town hips. The puzzle is recapped here through censuses and deeds, arranged chronologically. • 1786 February 14. Adam Wyley acquired a warrant for an "additional• 15 acres, adjoining William Griffith dee-cased, Joseph Taylor, and other land of said Wylcy in Warrington Township. When the 12nd was surveyed on 5 May, it was found to contain 23 acres and 34 perches; an additional neighbor identified was Thomas Atherton. 2 • 1790. Adam Willey with three adult males and four females was enumerated in Warrington Township.3 • 1794 October 30. Draught for Adam Wahle, 131 acres 44 perches, adjoining Thomas Mcmillan, Simean Hutton, Alexander Elliot, Joseph Taylor, Andrew Rowe, Hugh orthland.4 • 1795 June 23. Adam Wahle and wife Maria Ablina/ Ablonia of Warrington Township sold to son Michael Wahle of Warrington 131 acres, plus timberland in Warrington, adjoining Hugh Northland, Andrew Rose, Joseph Taylor, Alexander Elliot, Thomas McNaughton, Thomas McMillan. In exchange, Michael agreed to pay £425 and support his parents in their old age. 5 The spelling of the surname, but more surely the given name of the wife, indicate that this is a German family. • 1799 August 22. Michael Wiley of Warrington canceled the 1795 letter of agreement with Adam and Mary Wiley of Warrington. Michael Wahle signed. 6 • 1800. George Wtley (26<45) enumerated in Warrington with wife, son under 10; Adam Wtley (45+) in adjacent household with wife.7 Michael not found. • 1801 February 28. Daniel Henry of Monaghan sold to Michael Wahle of Monaghan [note change of township] for £750, 131 acres 145 perches [the acreage turns out to be a coincidence] plus 2 acres 146 perches in Monaghan, adjoining Daniel Jones, Isaac Norton, David James, James Anderson, Samuel Henry. At the same time, John Goswciler sold to Michael part of the same parcel, d~ scribed as being in Monaghan and Newberry township .8 • 1801.

Michael Wiley was enumerated in Fairview with wife, two sons, two daughters. An attempt was made to allocate the events to two separate families with a Michael in each. But no matter which way the records were sorted, they refused to be divided neatly. Instead, what emerged was a single family of German origins, whose name over time permuted-including their personal signatures-to fit better with the predominantly ScotchIrish community in which they lived. The definitive evidence for the connection came from the record of Michael's death, which occurred during the brief time period in the 1850s when Pennsylvania was recording deaths. • 1853 February 18. The death of Michael "Wihley," certified by George Wihley of Fairview [his son], gives his birth date [but not place] and names his parents as Adam and Mary.15 GENEALOGICAL SUMMARY 1.
