DNA testing linked us to another Wells family from upstate NY as well. They are stuck trying to find their ancestor from the same generation. A biography listed the other Wells' as French Huguenots. Accordingly, we are checking out the possibility of the last name being changed from Depuy or Dupuis to Wells. Another possibility we are checking is Welsch. We found a family from Alsace in NY about the right time.
