Enoch Wiley was a Free Independent Presbyterian minister in Grantville. He was the "yahoo preacher" who married Tom Simpson and Rita Stearns on the day the Ring of Fire fell in 2000, as the Wiley and Stearns families had been friends for generations. On March 4, 1635, while attempting to quiet an anti-Semitic demonstration in front of Grantville's new synagogue, Wiley and Henry Dreeson were assassinated by sniper Mathurin Brillard, a follower of Michel Ducos, a radical French Huguenot.
