Hmm. Samuel Israel Wells b: Shelburne, MA 17 May 1792. Dartmouth 1814. Apparently he studied law under Daniel Webster, was quite bright and graduated first in his class. He practiced and taught law in Salisbury, NH. Son of Israel Wells & Lucy Lyon. Married Lucy Kellogg 30 Jan 1824, moved to Windham, Maine 1836. Had five children. Died in Portland, Maine in 1846 or 1847 At first I thought this was clearly not the same guy. But I think one of these is in error. He can't have died in Portland, Maine AND have "removed to Alabama". But he also apparently was not "of New York". But then I found another reference ("History of Salisbury" that says he did indeed go to Alabama after going first to Windham. where he taught school. His wife Lucy apparently wrote Sunday School books. This may explain the departure to Alabama. "His overfondness of the wine glass led him to leave his wife and children, and they soon lost track of him.". She died in Portland 16 Oct 1844, maybe he didn't. Other references I found show he was a highly respected attorney and many have been identified as having studied law with or under him. Children: Jackson Wells 10 Jul 1825 m: Kate Bruckner in Lafayette, LA - 2 children he was a druggist. Spencer Wells 17 Feb 1827 d: Portland 25 May 1881. Reportedly became insane from studying after graduating from Bowdoin College. Lucy May Wells 3 Jun 1829 d: Partland 28 Mar 1863 Walter Wells 17 Nov 1830 m: Mary Sturdivant 25 Dec 1876 Portland, d Portland 21 Apr 1881 - graduate of Bowdoin College James Wells 2 Sep 1832 d: Salisbury 28 Jan 1835 Samuel I.
