Wesley Pledger is my great grandfather. His daughter, Eliza Jane Pledger, born 26 Jan 1855,Chatooga Co., GA, is my grandmother. I have several generations back on the Pledger family and will be glad to share. Eliza married my grandfather, James John (or John James) McKinney, 05 Dec 1871, in Hill Co., TX. She died 28 July 1937 in Mingus, TX, in Palo Pinto Co.,and buried at Lake Creek in the McKinney Cemetery. My mother was Ella Jane McKinney McElroy. She was the 12th child of John McKinney and Eliza Jane (Jennie) and born on her father's 50th birthday. He had served in the Civil War.In my records I show that Wesley Pledger was the son of Thomas Pledger, Sr. and Nancy Ann Leavister Pledger. They married 15 Mar 1785, Granville Co., NC. Thomas was the son of Joseph Pledger and Mary McKeen who married 11 Sept 1762 in Salem Co., NJ.
