The next morning he went out to feed the hogs and never returned.� She understood that he had gone to Washington State and that he did well and raised another family there.<P> Evan Wiles was 50 years old and he left a wife and eight children. The oldest child was 29 and the youngest was six. According to my mother's story, he got in touch with someone in Wilkes County the year that the youngest son was 21 (about 1874) and arranged for him to bring the young man down to Salisbury, N.C. to meet him. This man and the boy made the trip. But because the roads were a sea of mud, they were a day or so late getting there. The boy's dad was gone. But he had left him a vehicle and a matched team of horses. <P> ----------<P> Children of Thomas Wiles and Elizabeth (Besty) Ellis<BR> Abraham Wiles (abt. 1835-aft. 1850)<BR> Louisa Wiles (abt. 1837-aft. 1850)<BR> Winney Wiles (abt. 1841-aft. 1850)<BR> Lottie Wiles (abt. 1843-aft. 1850)<BR> Drew?
