Notes
a. Note:   From his Great-granddaughter, Norma Wadsworth Kinnick: "Why John Wesley came south after the war, I do not know. He had a peg leg and our family story was he lost it in the war but found out later from a cousin Jeannie V. Wadsworth League, that he dug wells for a living and lost it from falling in a hole he was digging. I�m told he was a very ornery soul.
