Surnames: Wells, Smith Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SCWBAIB/4428 Message Board Post: Charlotte "Lottie" Wells was b. 1837 Walker Co, TX. She married Leonard Smith Walker Co 1853. She had 3 girls and then disappeared from the family 1857 and the girls live with grandmother. She appears to have been alive in father's probate 1862. Wondering if she could have been institutionalized (like in an asylum of some sort) and, if so, where would that have been? Grasping at straws.....
