His name was Charlie Wells-as we knew him. He left Johnston County, NC when he was 12. Never returned. I discovered that his father was Dreade Wells/Jones. His mother's name was Lucy Jones/Wells. We know that he changed his name once he left home so his father's last name could be either wells or Jones. We have never seen anyone from that side on the family. I know there must be some oral history of such a person circulating. We are black. Please notify me if there is the slightest info. Thanks.
