NOTES:
Wiley was a private and fought in the 42nd Regiment of the Georgia Infantry; for the Confederacy during the Civil War; under command of General William T Wofford. He enlisted on March 4, 1862. The 42nd Regiment fought in the battle of Vicksburg, MS. from Jun 5th until July 4th 1863. He was captured during the battle of Vicksburg; and was released during a prisoner exchange. The Regiment engaged in over 125 battles during the Civil War everywhere from Vicksburg MS; to Chattahoochee FL; Raleigh NC; Richmond VA; and Frankfort KY. Among these battles were also many locally in Georgia in places like: Dalton; New Hope Church; Dallas; Powder Springs; Pine Mountain; Oxford; Decatur and many others. His service in the army ended when he took sick in November 1864 while the regiment was in northern Alabama on their way to march on Nashville TN. Wiley was left at a private residence for treatment. He rejoined his outfit and was with General Wofford's outfit when they surrendered at the close of the Civil War at Kingston, GA.
