I'm 90% certain of my research, but there's always the chance that I've taken a wrong turn somewhere. John

Vickie, Your signature line is actually most inappropriate for a genealogy list and it probably contravenes Rootsweb protocols. Rootsweb does not condone advertising which the link to the INeways site most certainly is. Bible quotes (or those from any other faith's texts) are also not appropriate.

Seeking information on this family. William Wells, b. either ME or England and d. before 1864. He married Sarah Riley, b. Ireland and d. after Nov. 1899. After William died, Sarah married John Clapp and after John died, Sarah married a Mr. Methot or Miethot (sp?) They had one child that I know of: Henry Jerome**, b. 18 Sep 1847, Hubbard, Dodge, WI.

His second marriage was to Charlotte (Lotty or Lottie) Golden. Charlotte was b. 17 Sep 1852 in either NY or PA. She d. 23 Sep 1932 in Omaha, Douglas, NE and was buried in Ellenwood Cemetery, Oshkosh, Winnebago, WI. They had five children: Sarah J. (Sadie), b. 31 May 1885 in WI, possibly Oshkosh.

She died 23 Jun 1986 in Santa Ana, Orange, CA. She m. Howard Gibson between 1918-1920. They had one child that I know of: Charlotte. Esther was widowed young and it's unknown if she remarried. ** Henry served as a private in the Civil War. Most of the information I have is from his pension file. The first time he enlisted, he enlisted as Henry J. Clapp. He said it was because when he was still very young, his father died and his mother married John Clapp. She insisted he use that surname. Sometime during the War, John Clapp died. Henry reenlisted and this time he used his lawful name of Wells. Lillian and her husband, Roy, both died during the influenza pandemic of 1918. They died one day apart. Their son, Wesley, also had influenza, but survived. He was raised by his uncle, Edwin Askwig, in Oakland, Burt, NE.

My DNA (submitted by cousins) places me in one of the orphan lines. Your info connects Samuel to Humphrey's line, so I suppose I can now eliminate Samuel from my list of suspects. It is good to know, but a little sad, too, when this happens, kind of like a death in the family. My Jeremiah is a brick wall. He appears out of nowhere when he marries in 1824, Walton Co. I have had 37 Wellses on my "Northeast Georgia" list and have been researching all of them (and others in SC, NC, and VA) as far as I reasonably can. It is very difficult to eliminate suspects on DNA because to do so with certainty one has to find good research connecting the suspect to a known DNA group (not ones own), or do the research oneself. It is often hard work, and not very gratifying, to do a lot of research simply to disqualify a suspect. You have helped me. One down, thirty-six to go.

A gentleman from Mississippi who descends from Samuel Wells of Henry Co. matched my DNA pattern exactly for the Wells Family Association DNA Project. I know that my family descends from Dr. Humphrey Wells of Wilkes Co., GA who in turn descends from Zorobabel Wells of Maryland and his father Richard Wells born 1618 in England. This line has been completely documented and proved with several DNA tests. I have been trying to figure out how Samuel fits into my line. Tonight I found that Humphrey Wells who married Abigail Lindsey(this Humphrey is a 2nd cousin to my ancestor) lived in Newberry Co., SC and had a son named Samuel born c.1775. This Samuel moved to Twiggs/Wilkinson County, GA by 1813. He moved to Henry Co., GA by 1830 and had at least three sons Hezekiah, William M. and Samuel, Jr. The remnants of the family were living in DeKalb County by 1850. William M. Wells died prior to 1850 and left a son named Thomas ! J. Wells, born in 1830. This Thomas J. Wells had a son named William M. Wells born in 1860. He eventually ended up in Mississippi and is the progenitor of the family I've been trying to connect. I hope this info is of interest. John Wells

John Osling, Polly Acres, and John Pattillo executors" placing John Oslin with an Abner Wells in Greene Co. in 1809. In 1813, Abner and Samuel Wells both appear in Putnam Co. tax records. In 1820 Putnam Co. census, Abner (aged 45+) appears next door to George and Elijah Wells (or Wills). I have not been able to locate Samuel in 1820. In 1830 Putnam Co., Abner is aged 60-70, placing his birth about 1765 (vs. Samuel's birth about 1775). By this time, Samuel is in Henry Co. Some of Samuels neighbors of aof lines I can connect to other Wellses. I have a strong feeling that Samuel and Abner are connected. Whether my Jeremiah connects is another matter, but he may. Let's compare notes.

Joy, Actually he is listed as just Thomas Wells, in the Shannon co., District 93 Mo. Census. But I know he is mine because of the children. Vickie To whomever-- My signature line is about the fact that I am a womens' advocate for dealing with menopause and estrogen dominance using natural products-not drugs that can cause cancer and other health problems. Almost everybody today is estrogen dominant because of the hormones in our food and everyday products we use which can cause cancer, obesity, allergies etc. I have natural products that can alleviate and prevent these health issues. By the way, men go through menopause too only it is called andropause. If it is my Bible verse that offends you, well, foul words, smoking, and alcohol offend me and we certainly hear and see more of that. Deal with it. Get off prescription drugs!

Samuel's widow, Mary, moved to Dekalb after his death and is the same district as Jeremiah. She was born in SC, and in the 1880 census Jeremiah says his parents were both born in SC. I would be delighted to share information with you. By the way, I find a Samuel in Jackson Co., Ga in 1799 and one in Putnam in 1813. Are you certain this is the same Samuel in Wilkinson and Twiggs? --John Wells Gillon
