Posted on: BaltimoreCity County Md. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Md/BaltimoreCity/2850 Surname: DUPUIS, WELLS ------------------------- Exiled Acadians who came into Baltimore included Cyprian, Joseph and Jean DUPUIS. Their surname soon became Anglicized to WELLS. By mid-1770's they had secured land on Charles St.in what was known as Westminster Hundred of BALTIMORE. I am interested in corresponding with any descendants of the DUPUIS/WELLS family of Maryland. I have reason to believe some of their descendants were in Ohio by 1830. My great-grandfather JAMES D. WELLS was born in Ohio in 1832 and later moved into Missouri. His parents were born in Maryland. He always said he was French. Reply to email
