Biography
Wesley Stone, the son of Wiley Stone and Candace Buckner, was born about 1834 in Georgia. On 6 June 1853 in Forsyth, Georgia, he married Elizabeth McDaniel (1834-1915).[1] They had 6 children: Ellen, Martha Ann, Charlotte, William Wesley, James Henry, and Mary Elizabeth (Emily).
Wesley enlisted as a Confederate soldier 3 May 1862, and enlisted in Company G, Georgia 56th Infantry Regiment on 15 May 1862.[2]
Wesley was captured at Vicksburg, Mississippi 4 July 1863.[3]
Wesley was released a week after his capture by agreeing to not rejoin the Confederate army and participate further in the war. He appeared in the 1866 Special Alabama Census living in Blount County, Alabama with his parents and brothers. It appears that Wesley may have moved with his family to Tennessee where his youngest daughter Mary Elizabeth was born. We have no documented evidence of Wesley after the 1866 census and with his wife living alone with their children in Shelby County, Alabama (1870 US Federal Census), it is unclear whether he left his family or died.
