Surnames: Wells, Fanning Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jUB.2ACI/1165 Message Board Post: I am trying to read a handwritten genealogy that says that Mehitable Wells died June 4, 1778 in Franklinville, LI. The letters "ville" are what I'm guessing at. However, I can't find this town listed in Suffolk County, even under original town names that had been changed. Can anyone shed any light on what this town name really is? Thanks.
