I think it probably was after her grandmother Wells who was mother to her mother Virginia Wells. My great-great-grandmother was from Georgia I just can't figure out which clan she belongs to. This is very frustrating. I know one day I will figure this out. Just thought it was intersting that her grandmother (Francis Pathena) was named Kesiah Belcher.
