Hi Cousins, I would like to find out who Hayden Wells' parents were. Hayden's full
name was Phillip Hayden Wells.Hayden was born about 1807. Hayden and his wife Coatney
(yes, her really name was Coatney.) If I hadn't seen her name on her headstone and
talk to several cousins I wouldn't have believed it myself. Coatney Ann Briscoe was
born April 8, 1809 and died September 25, 1888 (at her son's home Carty and Peoria
(Pug) Broyles - Wells). Both Hayden and Coatney moved to Briscoe, Lincoln County,
Missouri, and are buried in the Briscoe Cemetery. I think they moved to Briscoe in about
1840 or so. Before the moved to Briscoe they lived in the Auburn area (also in Lincoln
County, Missouri.) Hayden died December 24, 1845. Thank you for any help you can give me.
