The Passing of John Marion Voiles, 81 years of age, a highly respected citizen of Texas county since 1906, occurred at the family home in Guymon last Friday, May 28, following an illness of several years.

Out of states relatives present were Frank Bridgewater, Whitehall, Illinois; Florus Voiles, Carrollton, Illinois; Mrs. Faye Crabtree, Eldred, Illinois.
He was buried on 31 May 1943 in Guymon, Texas County, Oklahoma.683 I have a death certificate for John Voiles that states his birth date was January 1, 1862, and that he was born in Knoxville, Tennessee.
I also have an undated note from Nadine Morgan Grant, a prior researcher - granddaughter of William, that "according to obituary William Voiles born Jan 1, 1862, but that was Florus's idea." William was John's twin and whether they were actually born on Jan 1, 1862, they were both consistent in claiming it as their birthdate. Parents: Phillip VOILES and Charity M. HULING.

Phillip VOILES240 was born between 1830 and 1835 in , , Tennessee.241 He appeared in the census in 1840 in , Greene County, Tennessee.639 Henry Voiles was the head of this household.


He lived in District 15, Roane County, Tennessee in 1869.701 Viles, Philips, appears on tax list showing no property, but 1 poll. He died on 15 Sep 1885 in , Greene County, Illinois.702,703 He was buried in Bridgewater Cemetary, Greene County, Illinois.702,703 According to Gerald Caulk's notes: "Phillip and Charity, along with sons, Marshall, and twins John & Bill, are alleged to have walked from Greene County, TN (Greenville), all the way to Greene County, Illinois. They probably had wagons for the transport of possessions, or, divided one with others. Charity once tried to drown herself in a river, was pulled out and saved. She died in an institution, under care. Family tradition says she was half Cherokee."

My son, a descendant of Phillip Voiles, has participated in the Voiles/Viles/Voyles DNA Surname Study. He matched none of the other participants, but did match two lines of Arons coming out of South Carolina 36 for 37 markers. This is a very strong match, and in light of the DNA evidence, along with other circumstantial evidence, I have concluded that Phillip and William Viles, born 1828 and died 1885, were most likely brothers. Barbara Viles (born about 1825), Sidney Viles (born about 1834) and George Viles (born about 1840) were likely either siblings or half siblings to William and Philip. The evidence includes oral family history that Philip Voiles was born in Greene County, TN; census evidence that Philip Voiles was living next to Barbara Viles Snyder in 1870 in Jefferson County, TN and Barbara Viles was probably raised by Henry Viles; evidence from the Civil War Pension file that William Viles was actually born an Arons, but took the Viles surname after being raised from a young child by a man named Viles; and William Viles and his family, including Sidney Viles, who resided with Henry Viles in the 1850 census, were living in North Carolina in 1860 using the Arons surname. Parents: Unknown ARONS.

This divorce proceeding was apparently never finalized. The sheriff was unable to serve Charity Voyles with the Chancery Court Summons, as she was not found in the county.
