I came across this website while trying to find some of my ancestry.
I recognize this communication happened nearly 10 years ago but I am
hoping you can shed some light on one of my grandmothers. I went to
the cementery where Perry Wells is buried and there I found a
Katherine A Wells buried next to him. In the 1880 census, Perry's
wife is listed as Amanda C. Wells. I am assuming these are the same
people, Katherine A and Amanda C. This website is the only place I
have found a reference for Katherine/Amanda's maiden name. However,
when I google Feskler I recieve no hits against that name. Is there
anything you can share about this?
The web link is below along with the the portion of text regarding
Perry Wells and Katherine.
