Biography
John was a Friend (Quaker)
Research Notes
No birth or death record located in the Irish Quaker records.
John Wiley is briefly mentioned in the 1740 will of his grandmother, Elizabeth Watson nee Thompson (Thompson-26699).
There are Quaker marriage records for his father's two marriages, but no birth records for any of the children.
When granting approval in 1729 for his father's second marriage, the Quakers notice that ‘he had made provision for a child by a previous wife’.
In 1750 the Quaker monthly meeting for Dublin granted a John Wiley a removal certificate addressed to Friends in Pennsylvania or elsewhere in America, but it cannot be pinned down to this John Wiley.
Then there is a John Wiley son of Robert Wiley who married Anne Barnes in Mountmellick, Queen's County, Ireland in 1758, who is more likely to have been him.
Other than that I cannot find any sources for him.
The John Wiley mentioned in the will is very unlikely to have been born in the north of Ireland as both his parents were from King's County (as was his father's second wife) and there is no record of them having moved north.
