I am tied to your Lewis Wells, Sr. line. I assume you know he is a Patriot and is buried there in Perry County. I am descended from his son, Thomas Wells. Thomas' daughter Elizabeth Wells married Elijah Lane in Perry County and they migrated to SW Missouri between 1860 and 1870. I will get my roll call posted as soon as I can. Please keep in touch.

The GILL family migrated to Illinios from Virginia, and the TAYLORS and WELLS came from South Carolina.
