Everything in the article proves out true EXCEPT the statement that the grandfather came over from Wales. John Wesley's father is Clay Breedlove, born 1834 in Madison Co., IL, son of Henry Breedlove born 1806 in Virginia. Henry is somehow connected to either Milton Breedlove whose family moved to Madison Co., IL after he died in VA in 1828 or to another line I am just now getting data on. In any case, J. Wesley's grandfather Henry is shown on all censuses from 1850 through 1880 as being born in Virginia. Someone here asked about Henry's daughter Druscilla last month. Tom
