Wesley was born about 1843 (1) in Eaton, Madison Co, New York. I do not know if he married.

His name appears as an American Civil War Soldier.

Wesley Hockridge enlisted in Company F, 176th Infantry Regiment New York on 18 Dec 1862, Mustered out on 16 Nov 1863 at New York.

Wesley died 9 Oct 1895 and is buried in Morrisville Rural Cemetery with his parents. The momunent gives his regiment which may suggest he remained in service. (2)
