Hello Jane and all, Some of the Wells in Orange County came from some named earlier as Wills who settled into the Chowan District in the early 1700's and made their way inland to Granville, then Caswell and spilled over into Orange. The progenitor of this family from Bertie County was Miles Wells. -----Original Message----- From: Jane Sarles <janesarles@insightbb.com> To: ncorange@rootsweb.com Sent: Wed, 19 Mar 2008 5:25 pm Subject: [NCORANGE] Wells in Orange County My surname is Wells.
