Wiley Holder was born 25 April 1812 in Duplin County North Carolina. He moved to Cumberland County North Carolina in the 1830's. Wiley is first seen on a land deed in 1835. Next he is listed in 1841 as owing back taxes on his land. In 1845 Wiley is a witness for a court case. In 1846 Wiley has a marriage bond to Ann Blanchard. In 1850 Wiley is on the Census with wife Ann. Wiley in 1848 is selling land to his brothers Ithra and Jacob. In 1848 he is buying land to build a mill with his brothers. In 1860 and 1870 Wiley and Ann are again on the census records as living in Barbecue Harnett North Carolina. 1880 Census shows Wiley and his second wife Catharine living in Barbecue Harnett North Carolina. Wiley dies 2 June 1888 in Barbecue Harnett and is buried in the Holder family cemetery.
When Wiley was 27 years old in 1839 he got a 19 year old slave girl pregnant. This set in motion the family tree we have today.
This young slave girl's name has not been found. We have named her Miss McNeill Holder. McNeill because her mother and siblings were McNeill's. Holder because she was owned by William Holder the brother of George Vincent Holder. Nelson used the name Holder also.
7 years after the event with Miss McNeill Holder, Wiley married Ann Blanchard in Nov of 1846. Together they had 5 Children:
Catherine A Holder born 1847 Never Married
