Biographical Note
Andrew Wylie was born in 1789 in Washington County, PA. He graduated from Jefferson
College in 1820 and became president of that college two years later, where he served
until 1828. He was the first president of Indiana University, having been elected in
1829, and remained in that position until his death in 1851. He married Margaret Ritchie
(b.1791) in 1813 and they had twelve children together: Andrew, William, Mary Ann, Craig
Ritchie, Elizabeth, John Hosea, Samuel, Margaret, Irene Catherine, Redick McKee,
Anderson McElroy and Jane Melheme. Margaret Ritchie Wylie died in 1859.
Andrew Wylie Jr. was born in 1814 in Pennsylvania, the eldest of Andrew and Margaret
Wylie’s children. He graduated from IU in 1832 with a BA and an MA. He studied law in
Kentucky and practiced in Pittsburg. He married Mary Caroline Bryan in 1845 and they had
three sons, only one of whom survived to adulthood. They moved to Washington D.C., and
Andrew pursued a long career in jurisprudence. He was appointed Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court of the District of Columbia in 1863 by President Lincoln and served in the
position until his retirement in 1884. He died in 1905.
William Wylie was the second Wylie child, born in 1816. He died of typhus during his
senior year at IU in 1835.
Mary Ann Wylie was Andrew and Margaret Wylie’s third child, born in 1817. She married

Jonathan Letherman was Margaret Ritchie Wylie’s brother-in-law, married to her sister
Anne. He was a physician in Pennsylvania.

sisters was Susan, who married Robert Black; another was Margaret Thomson, who married
John McLeod. Among their children was Susie L. McLeod Wylie. T.A.Wylie’s
great-granddaughter was Louise Wylie Hoffman.
Rebecca Dennis Wylie, Theophilus A. Wylie’s wife, was born in 1812 in Germantown, PA.
Elizabeth and Adelaide Dennis were her sisters. Anna C. Dennis was unofficially adopted
by Emma Dennis as a young girl, and as such was an "adopted" niece of Rebecca's. Rebecca
Wylie died in 1913 at her home, Wylie House, in Bloomington, Indiana.
Elizabeth Louisa Wylie, b. 1839, was the oldest child of Theophilus and Rebecca. She was
a graduate of Glendale Female College in Ohio and Indiana University (1871). She married

Richard Dennis Wylie was the eldest son of Theophilus and Rebecca Wylie. He was born in
1841 and died of disease during the Civil War in 1861.
Margaret Wylie, b. 1843, was the third child of Theophilus and Rebecca Wylie. She
married Arthur Calvin Mellette, who was a boarder at her parents’ home in the 1860’s. He
would later go on to be the first Governor of South Dakota, which became a state in
1889. They had four sons: Theophilus Wylie ("Wylie"), Charles Edmond ("Charlie"), Arthur
Anton ("Anton"), and Joshua Theodore Richard ("Dick").
Theophilus Andrew Wylie was the sixth of the Wylie children. He was born in 1852 and
died unexpectedly when a cold turned into an ailment of the lungs in 1878 when he was 26
years old.
Samuel Brown Wylie was born in 1854, the seventh of Theophilus and Rebecca Wylie’s
children. He was the second Samuel Brown in the family; his brother Samuel Brown died at
the age of three in 1851. Wylie married Sarah Seabrook Mitchell of Edisto Island, South
Carolina, in 1876. Their four children were Theophilus Andrew ("Theo"), Samuel Brown
("Sam"), Rebecca ("Reba"), and Laurence Seabrook ("Laurie"). Samuel Brown Wylie died in
1890.
Theodorus William John was the youngest of Theophilus and Rebecca Wylie’s children. He
was born in 1857 and named for Theophilus’s brother. He married Fannie Southgate
Thompson in 1882. T.W.J. Wylie died in 1934.
Cornelius Pering is a distant great uncle of Thana Winslow Wylie, daughter in-law of
Redick Wylie, Andrew Wylie’s son. Pering was a native of Bath, England and came to
Bloomington in 1832 to become principal of the Monroe County Female Seminary, which he
ran until he resigned to move to Louisville in 1846. His grandson was Alfred.
John Pering, a cousin of Cornelius, corresponded with the archivists at IU in the 1970’s
about Cornelius and other members of the Pering family.
Scope and Content Note
The collection has been organized into nine series: Correspondence; Financial Materials;
Drawings; Clippings and Obituaries; Genealogies; Academic Materials; Journals; Realia; Poetry. Within each
series materials have been further divided into sub-series based on family groupings,
e.g., the Andrew Wylie Family, the Margaret Ritchie Wylie Family. Each sub-series has
then been put into chronological order by the date of birth of the head of the family,
e.g., Andrew Wylie Family correspondence comes before the Andrew Wylie, Jr. Family
correspondence. Therein, each individual in the sub-series has also been listed in
chronological order with the oldest members of the family listed first. For each
individual, the records he or she created or received have been placed in chronological
order. The series run from the Correspondence series of the Wylie family, which is the
largest, to the Realia series, which is the smallest. Each series has been processed
down to the item level.
The Correspondence series spans from 1832-1990. Letters are filed with their recipients
unless the author is a family member. In these instances the correspondence is filed
with the author in the appropriate sub-series. Andrew’s unmarried children have been put
into his sub-series, while the married children and their families, for both Andrew and
Theophilus Wylie, have received separate sub-series. Andrew and Theophilus Wylie’s
wives, Margaret Ritchie and Rebecca Dennis, are also organized into separate sub-series
with their siblings, nieces and nephews. Andrew Wylie Jr., John Hosea Wylie, Margaret
Wylie Martin and Anderson McElroy Wylie have the most letters in this series. Andrew
Wylie Jr.’s letters are of particular interest, as they are addressed to many different
family members.
The Financial Materials series includes balance reports, estate receipts and bills,
among other items, for the Andrew and Theophilus Wylie families. Of particular interest
is an account book for the McCalla store. There is also a scrapbook of notes from a
court case between Harry Axtell and Gordon Bingham concerning a land deed. Most of the
materials in this series relates to the estate expenses of Hugh Wylie, who may have been
Andrew Sr.’s uncle.
Most of the drawings in the Drawings series are rendered by either Richard Dennis Wylie,
Theophilus Wylie’s eldest son, or unknown family members. The drawings feature various
subjects and locales, probably found in Bloomington. There are two drawings of
Theophilus Wylie; one is by Richard Wylie and one is by an unknown artist, the latter
showing T.A. Wylie with his granddaughter Marie.
The Clippings and Obituaries comprise a vast array of subjects with the common theme
being the Wylie families and their assorted relatives. Some are reflective notes on the
Wylie families; some are newspaper articles from the late-1800s. Cornelius Pering is the
author of two clippings, in which he reflects upon his life in Bloomington. This series
also has several obituaries for Samuel Brown Wylie, son of Theophilus and Rebecca. Any
material relating to Theophilus’s father, also known as Samuel Brown Wylie, refers to
S.B. Wylie. The most extensive sub-series relates to Rebecca Dennis Wylie, whose 100th
birthday was a significant event in Bloomington in 1912.
The Genealogy series consists of any biographical information for the members found in
this collection. Some items were written by the subjects themselves, while others are
notes from a researcher’s point of view years later. Jane Wylie Axtell was a
genealogist, and included in this series is her history of her ancestors going back to
the American Revolution. Although no one person has a majority of items in this series,
the Dodds family has a number of materials compiled by H. Schermerhorn and Mary
Crotzer.
Academic Materials range from speeches to report cards. Irene Wylie’s copybook, dated
1840-1841, is in this series. Also included are a description of the Wylie House and a
segment of Charles Hentz’s autobiography that mentions Samuel Brown Wylie. Most of the
material relates to the Mary Ann Wylie Dodds Family, whose sub-series consists of a
number of speeches about various topics.
The Journals series is comprised mostly of personal journals. There are three small
autograph books belonging to Jane Wylie Axtell as well as an appointment book belonging
to S.B. Wylie. Many of the journals have been reprinted or include typed transcriptions
of the original. The Margaret Wylie Mellette sub-series contains the most materials,
including two Civil War diaries composed by Margaret and her husband, Arthur.
The Realia series is comprised of miscellaneous items such as scraps of music. Among the
items is a small picture book of Leipzig and a Monroe County ballot from the late 19th
century. This series also contains large sub-series of photographs and paintings that
are located in the archives photograph collection or offsite. Please ask staff for more
information about the paintings and photographs related to this collection.
The final series in the collection is Poetry. Marie Wylie Boisen is one of the authors
featured in this series. There are also several poems whose authors could not be
determined at the time the collection was processed.
Arrangement
This collection is organized into nine series: Correspondence; Financial materials;
Drawings; Clippings and obituaries; Genealogies; Academic materials; Journals; Realia;
and Poetry. Each series is then further organized into sub-series based upon family
unit.
