Jan, Yes, the Senior Joel Wells died in Moline - at least that is what the concensus of opinion is..... Son, Joel, Jr. supposedly married in Galena around 1819-20 to a lady named Mary Jones (?) They had a number of children, but are enumerated in the 1859 census in Henry County with children, Henry, Charles, Emily, William Joel, and another that escapes me at the moment. One of those "histories" written by a Zumwalt indicates they had 9 children in all...... Joel died in 1856/57 and Mary has been difficult to track. Finally discovered she died in Sioux Falls, SD where her grandson Rollin J. Wells, an attorney, lived for many years......she lived into her nineties. Thanks for everything. Flavia
