Hi everyone, One small correction - it's Newnan, GA. Cathy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margaret Wells" <maggi59@msn.com> To: <WELLS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 06, 2006 10:29 AM Subject: Re: [WELLS-L] Re: Green Wells & White Cappers > Vonda, Sonja, and Tony > My recollection of the relationship between Dr Anthony Newnam and the Daniel Newnam who founded Newnam, GA is the same as yours. It is interesting to me, however, that Daniel is such a pervasive name in the MD/DE Newnam line and that the Newnam family had a relationship not only to our Wells line, but also the Humphrey / Davenport Wells family ... wonder if any of the Newnams are doing DNA research? > Margaret > ----- Original Message ----- > From: SMBEDWELL@aol.com<mailto:SMBEDWELL@aol.com> > To: WELLS-L@rootsweb.com<mailto:WELLS-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Friday, May 05, 2006 4:50 PM > Subject: Re: [WELLS-L] Re: Green Wells & White Cappers > > > Vonda, Margaret & Tony, > > Another family researcher of our Thomas Wells thought that he might be the > Thomas Wells in early Franklin County, Tennessee.
