I have some copies of a bible that have WELLS and HODGETTS. It seems that the earliest births appear in Williamsburg, Kings Co., New York. One leg of a maternal line goes to Philadelphia and some go to NYC .. Brooklyn. The son's have different names like Alpheus(?) Herman or Kerman b: 1807, Barnabas b: 1817 (1850 in Suffolk Co, NY), Jeremiah b: 1815 (on 1850 census in Williamsburg), Morris b: 1820 Is anyone descended from this family?
