I have the information from the family history to which you refer, as well as information from Vol I of Posey Co documented history and the census. I have a Mary Elkins who married Joseph Wells (of my line) in 1837 Posey Co IN. In that same year he purchases property in Smith Township on the Vanderburgh Co line. By 1840 census both Joseph and his wife were born 1800-1810. Joseph is listed on tax lists through 1848 and then disappears. I do pick up a Joseph and Mary Wells in Vanderburgh Co in 1850 and naming pattern and age of children appear right, but their ages do not. There are several Mary Elkins in Posey Co and I was hoping to find someone who had information on Joshua's children and their children. By the way, I have a later Wells who marries a man named Gambel in White Co. The Turman book says that the original name may have been Gambel and some in the family reverted to that spelling. Do you have any information about this?
