Tony & Margaret, Tony, my information on Green Marion Wells agrees with yours. This is one of those fascinating pieces of history that pop up in genealogical research. I may have stumbled on another piece of Newnam information. A Thomas Wells is listed as an auxiliary name on a 1908 land grant in Bedford County, Tennessee. Anthony Nunom (sic) is also named as an auxiliary on the same grant. I suspect this is Thomas Wells of Lincoln County, Tennessee. Sonja
