I don't always recognize participants when they post messages here. We are always looking for more UK participants (or people who can track back to the UK) both to try to form a more complete picture of relationships in the UK and to try to find connections for the many Wells families in the US who still can't find their connections. The same goes for our cousins in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Born most likely in Ohio (possibly Peebles, Ohio) - Feb 2, 1886. Buried in Willow View Cemetery, Northridge, Dayton, Ohio on May 16, 1956 Grace was believed to be born as Yellow Moon Running Horse - full Cherokee Native American. She later was named Grace Bell Forthyse. She married George William Wells (sep 3, 1886 - feb 8, 1936) and had one son, also named George William Wells. Grace had a daughter named Audrey with a different spouse, and could possibly have had additional children. She later remarried under the name of Davis and therefore buried as Wells Davis. Any information that might be found on Grace Bell Forthyse (1886-1956), George William Wells (1886-1936), or any details affiliated with them would be extremely appreciated.
