| Note | Such records as we have conflict with regard the birth years of Wesley and his sister Harriett. Wesley is presented as being born 1 May 1825 and Harriet in June of 1825. This will be a year off for one or the other. Wesley is shown in this tree as being born in 1825 and that of Harriet as a year later. One or the other will be wrong.
