I had printed it out and very carefully put it on the open Abstract book, then closed the book. I really do need a "keeper". For what its worth, there is a tie between this Wells family and Shadrack Stallings family. They cross reference almost a dozen times, but try as I might I can't find a related connection. >From # 5 WILLIAM WELLS: p. 13 SHADRACK STALLINGS to WILLIAM WELLS, both of Duplin Co., 20 July 1784, for 20 pds. specie 50A on the ES of Bens Creek, a branch of Rockfish Creek & on BS of the Reedy Branch, beg. at a white oak on the lower edge of the branch on JACOB WELLS' line.
