Robert Wesley was a Starfleet line and flag officer on active duty through the late 2260s, then a United Federation of Planets colonial governor after his retirement. In 2249, Wesley was a student in Dr. Aiglekdos's Warp Theory class at Starfleet Academy. It was at this time that he met Montgomery Scott, who became the professor's technical assistant for the class. (Orion Press: "By the Back Door") Assuming Wesley didn't enter the Academy at a later age, this may indicate that his birth year was about 2228 instead of 2220, at least in Orion Press continuity.
