Wiley TYE, b. 1805
I recently visited Joshua Hansford TYE, the great grandson of Wiley TYE."Jay" as he is known is 85 years old and is retired from the U. S. Army or U. S. Air Force.He never marrie and lives in a large house in Kansas, Oklahoma.I talked to Jay about Wiley (the doorstep baby).According to Jay, Wiley was left on the doorstep on the night of Joshua and Elizabeth's wedding.It was estimated that he was 2-3 days old.Most records carry his birthdate 2-3 day prior to Joshua and Elizabeth's marriage.About the possibility that Wiley was the son of another TYE relative -according to Jay that is speculation and there is nothing now nor was there ever anything to link Wiley to another TYE relative.Wiley was not the son of either Joshua or Elizabeth.Joshua and Elizabeth did take Wiley in and raise him as their own.
