Hi Marsil. I have a lot of Wells genealogy that was sent to me many years ago, since aaaaai am a Wells descendant. The posting that I made was an effort to find the parents of Mary "Polly" Shephard, who married William S. "Big Bill" Wells, son of William and Susan Ward Wells. Mary's mother was listed on the e=mil as Nancy Shepard. The information I have did not list an Elizabeth Wells as a Daughter of William and Susan Ward Wells. Quotes: "William "Big Bill" Wells married Polly (Mary) Shepard 3 Oct. 1853 in Lee Co., Va.. Quote: "Nancy Creech, age 50 yrs., Wid., daughter of William and S. (Susan? Wells married in Lee Co. 22 Mar. 1856, the widower, William Brewster." ( The Wells and Shepard lines intermarried so much it is very confusing. Edgar, Oak Ridge, Tn. --- Edgar A.
