Hi! I am new to this list. Can anyone help me with this Wells family? John Wells born 1660 Reading, Berkshire, England. Died 1736 in Lower Dublin Twp. Philadelphia County PA, wife Olive Hunt. They were married in a Quaker ceremony on 20/28th(sic) day of seventh month called September 1681, Newbury and Oare MM Berkshire, England (Have copy of that record.) In 1690 he purchased 100 acres from John Gordon, agent for William Penn, Lower Dublin township, Philadelphia, PA. 2nd son Samuel Wells born **Nov. 11, 1687, signed will 1771 and probated 1778 mentions oldest son John not living when will written. Possible wife of Samuel is Julian Taylor b ca 1690 married 1712. John's sons named in will. ** I find the birth of a Samuel Wells to John and Olive Wells 10th day of the 6th month in the year 1682 (Have copy of that Berkshire Quaker English document) Samuel's son John whose wife is believed to be Esther Bostick John's oldest son Reuben Wells. Reuben was taxed 1769-1770 as having no property and living with grandfather Samuel Wells. In 1779-1780 Reuben was taxed in the City of Philadelphia, Southwark Ward. He may have served in the American Revolution, but I do not find any Reuben Wells from Philadelphia area. Believed he was the father of Jane Wells but cannot document.
