Bonnie, following is what little is known about John Wesley. He MAY be the son, or grandson of Dempsey Chancey, born in Bladen County, NC Abt. 1765. This has not been proven, therefor...please understand that my base only shows Dempsey as a gfather because it seems likely. I am currently trying to locate the correct data for John Wesley. Hope this answers a few of your queries anyway. You may email or repost if I can be of further assistance.

It was not known whether John was widowed, divorced, or had abandoned his first wife and a large family of children in Alabama. The three children born to John and Mary were named for three of John's children who were deceased.
The Alabama family knew where John was located, since a son named Mitchell came when John died in Taylor County to see he left an estate.
John had an only known sibling, a brother, Amos, in Alabama.
Mitchell had a son, Robert, who visited John Wesley Chancy, 1893-1982, at Wacissa, Jefferson County, Florida, date unknown.
