      Wesley Family

      I am looking for descendants from the following Wesley branch. I do not know whether this branch is related to the founders of the Methodist Church since I have been unable to go back further than Paul Wesley (b. 1795 in Mt. Carmel, d. 1875 in Halifax Co, VA) to John Wesley and Agnes Agatha Powell (I do have names of others in Agnes's family, but John is a mystery)

      Paul Wesley married Elizabeth Williamson, and they had 6 children - Clementine, John R, Agnes, Caroline, Charles, and Eliza. All were born in Halifax County, Virginia but several Wesleys in this particular line have lived in Person County, NC so anyone with Wesleys in either county, please get in touch with me. There are a lot of names I already have, but I'm sure there's a lot of names I don't have.
