John Wesley Chessor, Jr. was the son of John Wesley Chessor and Atlanta Georgia "Addie" Harper. He was familiarly known as "Junior." He married Virginia Alley, whose nickname was "Jim," on December 18, 1947. They were the parents of one child, Johnny Boyce.
Even though Junior was my great-uncle, I do not remember him. However, I do remember how much my father (who was a dead ringer for Junior as a young man) and his sister thought of him. I remember seeing photos of Junior, and he was a handsome man. He was an excellent musician, a trait shared by his brother Claude and his son Johnny Boyce. A native of Hickman County, he moved to Nashville, where, if I remember correctly, he worked for the H.G. Hill grocery stores as a butcher.
