ORIN, Can you give me a little more on this line, or is it on your website? I remember years ago contacting Gordon several times because he thought his Isaac Wells might be related to my husbands John Wells b.ca.1795 MD.. As I recall he thought his Isaac was the one that stopped off in Fairfield S.C. and is mentioned in a book there. And from there he moved on to Miss. I believe he said. Anyway, we never could link up our Wells...well not mine but my husbands Wells that is. That would be wonderful if he had a son that would do the DNA. Then I would know for sure. thanks, kathy Wells. ----- Original Message ----- From: "OrinWells" <orinwells@wells.org> To: <WELLS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2006 2:58 PM Subject: [WELLS-L] Gordon M.
