Surnames: Wells Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SCWBAIB/4435.1.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Hi, yes thank you I will. My grandfather is James Washington Wells who was born in 1886 in Edmondson County Kentucky. His wife was Mary Alice Long. James' father was Isaac Wells Born in 1853 also in Edmonson County Kentucky and he was married to Luisa Madora Houchins. Isaac Wells is the son of Joseph Wells who was born in 1821 in Butler, Kentucky and married to Elizabeth Johnson. We believe that Joseph's father was John Wells born in 1792 or therabouts who was married to a Lydia Johnson (oddly the same last name as his son's wife). John Wells came from somewhere in North Carolina but it is there that we go no further and we aren't really sure if John is really Joseph's father. I have nothing that "proves" that to me. Somehow, somewhere we reconnect to Henry Wells in Pennsylvania through DNA markers......Does this help???????
