Just out of curiosity--because I have a whole bunch of ancestors that
came from VA and NC originally and moved to AL that named their sons
"Wiley" (Wiley King, Wiley Bean, Wiley Truss, etc)--does anyone know
why Wiley was such a popular first name?

Surname: Bradford
-------------------------

In addition to Wiley's unknown parents, I've not seen proof that Wiley
and Davis were even full blooded brothers. I'd be happy to just find
confirmation
of one little piece of this particular puzzle.
Just like many others who are researching these two, I have my own
unproven
"theory of relativity".
A book that I spotted in the TN state archives, just minutes before
they
closed on my last day of research, was "Davis Bradford and Descendents
1809-1988" by Delbert H. Smith. Delbert lives (or did at the time of
publishing)
in Nashville, so the book may not have had widespread distribution.
