Hi Carol, I have to have this straightened out for me every once in a while. I hate those same names esp when they are so close in age. I printed your message and anytime I am dizzy trying to figure out my John Wesley and his ext.family I will get the clear picture..

Kathy I know it's confusing to have so many John Wesleys. John and Sarah even named one of their sons John Wesley (he was b. in 1880). I can give you more info if you would like whenever you are ready for it. I did a quick check this eve and found John Wesley (b. 1841) and 6th wife, Edith M. Ramsey in Tomahawk Twp in Searcy Co. (Gilbert Town) in 1930. It is Page 1A (274) Roll #T626_89 Family #2. John is 88, Edith is 52. If you don't have census access at Ancestry, will send you the rest of the info. Regards, Carol
