Susanna Wesley was the mother of John and Charles Wesley; their father's name was Samuel. Charles Wesley was the greatly gifted musician, and the talent was passed to his descendants.

John was married, but it didn't work out: Wesley married very unhappily at the age of forty-eight to a widow, Mary Vazeille, and had no children. Vazeille left him fifteen years later, to which Wesley wryly reported in his journal, "I did not forsake her, I did not dismiss her, I will not recall her." (Wikipedia)

I particularly like the phrasing, "Wesley married very unhappily": one can almost see him, all a-gloom at the altar, knowing it's a mistake.

That sinking feeling....wish I had known what a "feeling" was when I got married -- might have changed the course of events! LOL!
