Here is more information on Wesley Calvin GEORGE & Rebecca L. POTEET. Hope
this helps. Thanks for your assistance everyone, I really do appreciate it.
We will find him (and his parents) eventually.

PS I don't think he fought in the Civil War, but who knows?

Hi, Aaron - I'm a genealogist in Washington State - but have done a lot of
research in Virginia.
I'd like to try to help you in your search for Wesley Calvin George -- but I
need a bit more information. So a few questions if I may -- are you sure
about the spelling of his last name (for the time of his birth); same
question about the date of his birth; do you have the names of his
siblings - if any; the name of his wife (or wives if there was a second
marriage); names of his children: do you know where he died?-- any
information will be helpful for a start. I'm a Virginian by birth - but
moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1975 -- and I see you're in Salem, Oregon.
I was just in Salem visiting long-time friends.
Billie C. Barb
