Charles Wiley
Charles Wiley (1782–1826) was an American bookseller,[1][2] printer and the founder of the business that, under the direction of his son John Wiley, became an academic publisher, and eventually the current organization John Wiley & Sons.[3]
His grandson, also called Charles Wiley, was the son referred to when the business changed its name to John Wiley & Son in 1850.[3] It was reorganized as John Wiley & Sons, Inc. when a younger grandson of the elder Charles, William H. Wiley, joined the family business in 1872.
