John Wesley Gabbard was the son of Edward "Ned" Gabbard and Sarah "Sally" Bowman.

Both his tombstone and obituary give birth date as 1812, but census records and parents' ages do not support this date. He was more likely born in 1822.

He was married to Alitha "Leatha" Harrison in 1841 and they were the parents of 15 Children.

The 1860 census shows the following children with these spellings and these approximate birth years:

Green Berry 1841
Nancy Jane 1842
Jacob 1843
William 1845
Sarah 1846
Susan 1847
Edward 1848
Setha 1850
Calista 1851
Paleastine 1853
John Wesley, Jr. 1856
Delia 1858

The 1870 Census adds:

Margaret E 1861

He was married second to Nancy Jane Jones and they were the parents of five children:

Fanny
