I passed the message on to my cousin about the DNA test. She will probably contact Orin. I am hoping the results reveal a Wells connection, If not it may come back Wright again. We stomped through the cemetaries in Ross Twp. where William was from and found Wright families. They are everywhere in Jefferson county! They owned and sold a lot of land. . Maybe my cousin's line is a true Wells. That would at least tell me which line I am looking at. Maybe James was taken in by the Wells family, but the strong family resemblance makes me think that William or further back was taken in by the Wells. In that case we will both be Wright! lol I was so hoping to be a Wells descendant. Oh well! Is it just me or does Ancestry.com really stink now? I can't find half of the things I use to before it became better. Jim- Thank you Orin In a message dated 7/13/2009 1:03:52 P.M.

He married Persis EARLE in Dec 1810 but I think he left his wife (on 1850 she is listed as widow) but James did not die until 1870 ... I found 3-4 James in the age frame that would fit him on 1850 and 1860 but they are all living with younger women.
