For Wiley's early life see notes of his father.
In 1812, Wiley moved with his wife to Powells Valley, where he volunteered in the War of 1812. He served in the military from 9-23-1813 to 1-1-1814, enlisting in Jacksboro, TN. He was in Capt. Doak's regiment.
After the war he moved to Lexington, KY, and later to the headwaters of the Kentucky River.
In 1823 Wiley moved to the Cumberland Mountains and settled near Grassy Cove where he died and is buried, with his wife.
Wiley Redwine was thus a soldier in the Creek Indian wars under Jackson.
He later became a Methodist minister.
As one of Jackson's soldiers, he receiving land warrants of 40 and 80 acres. He applied for a pension in Valley Head in 1871, with James Bundren (his son-in-law) as his character witness.
He was a colorful character about Grassy Cove, where he moved in 1826. He was referred to as "Father Redwine" and had a place near the old ford on Whites Creek. He lived near Reelfoot when it suddenly turned into a lake. Many of the Redwine Indians have blond hair and blue eyes. Descendants through his daughter Sarah Redwine, who married James Bundren (the author's great-great grandparents), still identified themselves as Redwine Indians. Wiley went back and forth between Grassy Cove and Sand Mountain, and in the 1850 census he was counted in both places.

Crossville, TN newspapers, "THE OLDEST RESIDENT DEAD, Mr. Wyly Redwine, the oldest citizen in the county, and he had but few seniors, if any, in that state, died in Grassy Cove on the 8th instant. He was born in North Carolina, May 6, 1791, and was consequently in his 97th year. When he was young, his father moved to Knoxville. In 1805 he moved to Sequatchie and was the third settler to penetrate the cornbrakes of that fertile valley. At that time there was no mill nearer than Knoxville, and the then settlers had to take it time about going there to mill. He moved from Sequatchie to Powells Valley, when he volunteered in the war of 1812 and followed the gallant Jackson in his memorable campaign against the British. After the war, he moved to Lexington, KY, but found game too scarce so he moved to the headwaters of the Kentucky River. In 1823 he moved to the Cumberland Mountain and settled near where he died."
