If you google map Talbot, you will see just across the river a bit is Wells Landing Road. Once there was a small community called Wells Landing (Wells Landing is a Locale in the state of Oregon (county of Polk), located at latitude - longitude coordinates (also known as lat-long or GPS coordinates) of N 44.78568 and W -123.13371. Wells Landing is shown in the center of the topographic (topo) map, which is sourced from the United States Geographical Survey map USGS Monmouth quad. The nearest major town is Independence, OR.). Since Emmett was playing in a band in Talbot, it is possible he grew up at Wells Landing. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Currently I'm researching his son Emmett Elsworth Wells. Emmett was the father to Alda Wells who married my great uncle Albert Otto Rosentreter of Oswego, Clackamas county, Oregon. An obit of Emmett and some photos have been handed down to me and I'm getting them onto my tree at Ancestry. Emmett was married to Carrie Davidson or Davison and they divorced and later Carrie married Joe Bickner of Oswego who owned a grocery store there in the early 1900s. See the City of Oswego's online photos for more on the Bickners. Emmett had a band in Talbot, Oregon and played either the trumpet or coronet. I have a photo from 1927 of him with the band. Another photo of 3 children says on the back "To Cousin Alda from Lester, Norma and Elvin". How do they relate to Emmett?? Another photo is of Emmett and his second wife.

There was a William and his wife Margaret that I have been trying to track in Ohio. Why have I been tracking? Trying to see if I can link him to my Jane Wells Hallowell. Jane born 1787 and William born ca 1782 both in PA. Both in Short Creek Quaker Meeting and both lived in Morgan County for awhile. Now back to William Wells In 1799 and 1800 he is a pioneer coming into Ohio near Wheeling VA. ( Have seen two records showing him in that area.) I then track him in Quaker records for Concord meeting and Stillwater Quaker meetings of Belmont County, Ohio and Short Creek meeting I believe in Harrison County, Ohio. In 1804 he joins Concord meeting at his request. In 1805 his wife Margaret and son Levi join at their request. He had sons Levi and John and WM and Margaret have a girl Sarah Gilbert who was in their care in 1825, per Quaker meeting records. Loss in Quaker records after 1825. In the 1850 census of Morgan County, Ohio in Malta twp I find him as a 68 year old man born PA and both of his sons and families living in Morgan County, Ohio. John has a son William 2 and Levi has a son John age 22. Could one of these two Wiiliams be the owner as Zaneville is above Morgan County isn't it? (I'm not from Ohio so not sure.)
