Jenny Wiley is a direct decendent. I loved finding this book about my great grandmother's trials and her ultimate freedom from her captors... A true story that can encourage modern cultures... I've purchased several copies for my family. My daughter visited the Jenny Wiley State Park in Kentucky recently.
I finally find a book about one of my direct descendents!

Jennie Wiley is a direct descendent of mine through Hezekiah Sellards and I have heard stories told about her. However, I never thought there was a book about her. Although I have not purchased the book yet I still rate it a 5 for obvious reasons.

I have a copy of this book that is copied off an old copy machine. I was so happy to find copies of the real book. I am also a very distant relative of Jenny Wiley. It will be great to pass these books on to family members. What a great find.
Taken Back In Time

It has been quite a few years since I read this book. My grandmother owned it. I thought it was a very good book. It hit close to home to me, because Jennie Wiley is my seventh great-grandmother. Reading this book brought me close to my family history. I was able to learn more about how life was back then and the things that happened. I plan to buy my own copy, so that I can share the story with my children.
