Any chance your Wiley ADAMS had a sister named Mary Jane ADAMS?My gg-grandmother by that name had a brother named Wiley ADAMS and she was born 1865 in either Clinton or Marion county, IL.Their parents were Albert McLean ADAMS & Elizabeth MORGAN (who claimed to be 1/4 Cherokee.)Elizabeth Morgan's stories make it sound like her fullblood grandmother could have been living in Indian Territory. IF there's any truth to the Cherokee story in our family, the family's migration may have corresponded with the "Trail of Tears" history of the Cherokees.Mary Jane ADAMS married George C. GALLAHAN (maybe in South Dakota) and they later lived in Montana and Idaho and she died in Portland, Oregon in 1950. I have no idea what became of her brother Wiley ADAMS.
