Hello I am looking for info on my great-grandmother, Emma Hundley Wells. Emma was born in 1867 in Danville (Cascade) Virginia and had 2 children in Virginia, Minnie and Rucker. In the late 1800's, she left her two children in the care of her brother, Nathan Hundley and moved to St. Louis MO with the white family that she was working for at the time. In St. Louis she met and married a man with the last name of Wells and had a set of twins, Nathan and Louise. She died in St. Louis in 1935 of cancer. Her parents were former slaves but I am not sure who they were. According to info that I have found, a free black by the name of Bartlett Hundley married another free black, Sallie Coleman in 1866 in Pittsylvania County VA. Bartlett was the son of Toni and Manley. Sallie was the daughter of Christopher Coleman. The wedding was performed by D. M. Wallace. I am trying to see if there is a connection here. If anyone has any info on any of the names mentioned or if in your research you have discovered that you family may have owned slaves and you are willing to share info, please contact me.
