Do you know of Wileysville ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Wileysville. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Wileysville.<1>

Our sources for Wileysville (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Wileysville other than they indicate that Wileysville would be found somewhere in Steuben County, New York.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1854 and closed  in 1907.
