Siblings were Ruth L. born 1897, Wilbur N. born 1899, Alven Thomas born 1900, Marguerite MaryAnn born 1901, Lora Mae born 1903, Vera B. born 1906 and Melvin Napolian (sp) born about 1899.
We know that brother Melvin registered for the WWI Draft, FHL Roll #1983874 showing a birthdate of 17 July 1899. Also shows him being a farmer, working for TN Jennings, his father. It states he was of medium height 5' 8", slender build, brown eyes and light hair/skin. The spelling is to be noted that he wrote it differently from his father's middle name "Napoleon".
Census records show the parents in 1880 in Bosque Texas, then with children Ruth and Melvin in 1900 at Falls, Blevins, Dist 28, Texas; and later TN, Sally, the 2nd wife after Ida died; and Wilson Harwell their only child, in Jacksboro, Jack, Texas.
Much ancestry research is continuing, and the description of stature and physical attributes of Wesley's brother are an interesting item for any genealogist.
While indirectly related to me, and we never met; you are still part of my far-reaching ancestry!!
