I just thought that I'd add a little more information on whom I suspect is my Benjamin's father. According to the Orphan's court records a Benjamin Wells, Jr. was assigned as guardian for my Benjamin and an Anne E. Tucker. Looking at marriage records there is a marriage record of a Thomas Tucker to an Onera Wells, but this Thomas is not old enough to be Benjamin's father and the marriage took place in 1806 - after my Benjamin was born. I also know that in Virginia there was a court case filed again the minor children of Thomas Tucker by the older children to sell off their father's estate. The list of minor children includes my Benjamin and Anne. There are two other marriages in Anne Arrundel County for Thomas Tucker. It inidicates that Thomas and an Anna Hooper are the most likely candidates for my Benjamin's parents, but I still have no direct proof. Can anyone add anything to this information?
