Wesley Anderson, son of negro slave and possibly slaveowner, born Pennsylvania about 1821. Wesley went to sea and spent some time in England. At the age of 18 he landed in NSW, Australia - the following year he married a widow, Sarah Jane Black on 25 April 1840. Sarah was twelve years older than her husband.
Does anyone know anything about his parents? I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks

If you buy Wesley's marriage certificate, it MIGHT have his fathers name on it
