Uncle "Wess" and his sister Laura were both crippled from infancy (perhaps with locomotor ataxia) and needed assistance to walk. In adulthood they lived with their elderly father and stepmother, and after their deaths, with their sister Fannie and her husband, John Burchett, in whose home they died in 1946—only 13 days apart—from tuberculosis.
Wesley's date of birth varies widely depending upon the source record, with all of the following dates indicated on one document or another: 1870; 1875; October 1878; 1882; 1890; 1891; and June 1, 1898. Most probably he was born about the year 1881.
