The John Wesley that married Nancy Caroline Dyar was my great grandfather. He was
born 2/1850 in Oak Bowers, GA., just north of Hartwell, GA. He is the son of
Obadiah/Ann Skelton>Reuben/Nancy Bryant(Obreon)>John/Comfort Gilbert>Rev.
John/Mollie McCan. He and Nancy had Lou Etta-1869; Indiana, 1871; Reuben K.
Joseph, 1873; Minnie E.,1876; Myra Capatola, 1878; ROSA LEE(My Grandmother),1880;
Possibly an infant that died; Thomas A, 1883; George Sidie, 1887; Wesley Earnest,
1889; Emma, 1892; and Columbus Obadiah, 1895. In 1880 he and a couple of his
brothers left Hart County, GA and moved to Marshall County, AL, settling around Boaz
and Blount. He died in April 1929 and is buried in the Friendship Baptist Church
Cemetery, Marshall Co., AL. Although not a member, he gave land to build the Clear
Creek Baptist Church, Marshall Co. PLEASE CONTACT ME,I am attemping to put the

Author: Chuck Mooney [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Tue, May 29 2001, 23:53:57 The name "Wesley" seems to be fairly prevalent in the Cleveland lineage. My grandfather's name wa Welsey Eugene Cleveland. He was born in Port Aransas,TX. His father was Philemon Cleveland. I have no info beyond this. Does onyone out here have Philemon's name in their lineage? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
