Robert Wiley, a Confederate veteran and Commander of the Marr Camp, United Confederate Veterans at Fairfax was elected County Treasurer in 1891 and served in that office for 24 years. Two fellow Confederate veterans and Marr Camp members, William S. Kincheloe and Richard H. Shepherd, helped collect the taxes for 1893 and 1894. Robert G. Nevitt, a notary public, also assisted. Shepherd was a long-time tax collector for the Mount Vernon district, Kincheloe served for many years as Deputy Treasurer, and Nevitt was a long-time member of the Fairfax County School Board.
The Fairfax County Office of County Treasurer 1893-1894 Tax Account Book includes the working draft of alphabetical tax lists from the white and colored sections of the Mount Vernon, Lee, and Centreville districts. The book was created and maintained by County Treasurer Robert Wiley, Robert G. Nevitt, Richard H. Shephard, and William S. Kincheloe from 1893 to 1896.
