Henry McClesky

Does anyone have any details on Henry? I am searching for more on McClesky. There was a Henry McClesky that had a hotel in Americus with his wife and then he bought another hotel in Rome, Ga called the Cherokee. The federal census indicated a Isabella McClesky owning land in Savannah but she moved. not sure if she sold it and moved to North, Georgia but this was in the 1750's
