Author: JamesWard200 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.wells/5148/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I'm looking for a man by the name of Nelson Wells (b. approximately 1850-1860) who lived for a time in Elliott County, KY between 1875-1877. Family oral history indicates that Nelson Wells was the father of Ollie Missouri Wells Porter (1877-1952). Ollie's mother was America Jane "Marcus" Porter. Ollie Porter married John Wesley Kitchen (1873-1943) on 27 Dec 1892 in Lawrence County, KY. I have looked without success for any sign of Nelson Wells in all available family trees, as well as all available census, birth, marriage, and death records. Any help is greatly appreciated!
