The obituary of Lucinda Gladden Wells states that her maiden name was Gladden. There is an Old Wells Family History that states "older family members claim she was the daughter of Joseph Gladden Jr. This cannot be proved or disapproved. She was probably born about 1814 although her obituary states she was born 1808. This 1808 could not be correct. She appears on the 1850 census age 30, her first child was born in 1831. Joseph Gladden Jr. probably had a granddaughter, Morcona Ann Gladden who married Logan Huffstellar, and inherited from the estate of Joseph Jr. No one knows which one of the sons of Joseph Jr was her father. She was born 1836. Some family members claim they were told that Morcona Gladden and Lucinda Gladden were sisters. I do not know when this info in the Wells Family history was obtained." The history has been worked on and passed to several generations. I have yet to find anything in it that is incorrect.
