Wiley Jamison (sometimes spelled Wili Jemison) was the name of my grandfather Jimerson's father. Granddaddy also had a brother Wiley, about whom I know little, other than that he was born in Tennessee in 1876. He lived for a time in Little Rock, Arkansas, and also in Brinkley (Monroe County) Arkansas.
About the elder Wili Jimmison (so he appears in the 1840 Giles Co (TN) census. He was reported to have been born in Virginia; his wife Elizabeth was born in North Carolina.He and Elizabeth had 8 kids who survived to maturity.
The names are unusual enough to make one wonder, but not enough to get hopes up
