We have some sort of disconnect here. I don't recall seeing this marriage
in the St. Luke's records, but I haven't looked at them in a few years.
But St. Luke's was in Baltimore. According to John this marriage was
recorded in Queen Anne County. Something is not fitting.

Greetings! This info came from a look up I requested from a CD titled
"Maryland Marriages" 1655 - 1850 the CD number is 224. I requested a look up
of Wm. Wells and Mary Harner or Hardner. The response is what you saw posted
about Wm. Wells and MAry Hamer, I think that came pretty close. The date of
the marriage is the thing that probably knocks this couple out as possible
parents, September 21, 1749. It is the first thing I have ever been able to
find on them since the connection was suggested a little while ago. I will
check with the CD holder to see where this data comes from, I am not sure the
source of the info used to make the CD. If I find out anything I will let you
all know.

That's what I said. You must have been listening to a Football game while
reading your mail <g>
"I don't really know where the suggestion they were the parents came from
except John B. Wells indicated, I think, that M. L. K. Wells came up with

Sure looks like I said MLK Wells to me.

Well, I have no way to tell. I have see no evidence one way or the other
until now when we have seen the marriage date of this pair, assuming it IS
William and Mary Harner. I don't really know where the suggestion they
were the parents came from except John B. Wells indicated, I think, that M.
L. K. Wells came up with it at one time 60+ years ago. There is no way to
tell where he got it, but he got a LOT of other things wrong, so I am not
willing to accept anything from that quarter at face value. Show me the proof.
What we can expect from the DNA project is it will clearly show that
Zachariah Wells was NOT a son of Richard Wells and Ann Nancy Brown. I do
not hold so much hope it may totally answer the question unless we can get
sufficient samples from whatever line he did come from. I know of NO
descendants of this William Wells for example. But, the question is which
family did HE come from. I know that there was a William Wells alleged to
have been a son of Zorobabel Wells, but he might have been a bit younger
than this fellow. But, if that is the case, then the testing on the
descendants of the Zorobabel Wells may show a connection. The challenge
will be finding how. But it would give you ancestors. There are other
possiblities, if Zach traces to a Maryland family at all, such as through
some other person in the Little Wells family, thorough the Thomas Wells and
Frances _____ Wells family, the Big Wells family or one of the Richard
Wells families which will be more difficlut as the lines are not as readily
available for testing today. Lots of questions to answer.

Andy,
We all pretty much agree that the Tory Zack was not our Zack 1, as he was
hung abt. 1782. As to his hanging possibilty - based on the stories of the
incident and what he reportedly did and the nature of Ben Cleveland who had
a reputation for hanging tories it is vewry likely he did hang tory Zack.
Although I think th estory has been a bit embellished during the ensuing
years. A theory several Sturgill and Osborne descendants have put forth is
that our Zack may of been his son, but they have no proof to back up itheir
theory. I have been unable to find anything that suggests he was married or
actually living in NC at the time. The recent recounting of the story of a
Zack out of SC or GA has it he was actually from that region and was on a
Tory Raiding party when he was hung and after his death his wife in SC or GA
took over his affairs and some children were mentioned in the story, but no
Zack Jr was mentioned.
I agree we should look to see if any of the allied families may have info,
which is what I have tried to do over the past year, that is where the
theory from the Sturgills and Osbornes came from, but I have not been able
to discover that magic key that will unlock the mystery surrounding the
originas of our Zack, yet.

Hi Cuzs
Was that Jacob Wells m. Johanna Shepard?As I said the Shepards and Wells
had a lot of spouces in common....we might want to search out any sites
that is presented on them.....along with the
Blevins,Culbertson,Sturgil,LAnders and Boggs.......all of them married a
Wells c/o Zach 1 and Osborne
regards and happy hunting...Andy
Claude,
I think I would agree with Kim.I have all the known children of Zach1
and Osborne,along with ther spouses.I think we might look at the
shepards,WArd,Culbertson,Sturil,Blevins,Landrs and Boggs families......
Imnot sure when the Tory Zach. was hung.....my own thoughts are he is
not our "elsuive Zach1.Some of the land deeds that have been presented
by cousin Jean("JHK)was wheeling and dealing land into the 1800,I would
think surely things in the colonies would not been so drastic to hang a
person in those days.
Would anyone like to comment on this.?
The other thing is I have pictures of my "Granny Ytes"(Mary Lavina Wells
Yates)--(sorry Jean)as a young woman and prior to her death in 1907.We
could compare pictures of some of "Our Wells" and see if there is any
family characteristics...just an idee...
Thanks, regards to all...Andy K. Seattle,WA.

A good question is: Where is the rest of the list? If I can't find it I'll
send for the film. It will take some time for it to arrive.

Claude & group,
Here is my Zach Wells timeline. It is cut and pasted from a spreadsheet so
it does not look good in e-mail from, but you can get the info.
I have not seen the 1787 reference before, so I will add it to the list.
However, there is a 1797 list.
An interesting note is that in a reference to the birth of Jacob Wells
listed Virginia as his birth place, sandwiched between North Carolina
references.
If anyone has info not listed, please add it and repost to the group with a
mention of what you added or add in a red font.

they

> There is a Zachariah Wells listed in the Yaxpayers book, WIleks COunty, NC

this

> The second book revealed there was a Zachariah Wells listed in the state
of

> 1 White Male 21-60
> 4 White Males <21 or >60
> 5 White Females

> He does not appear in teh 1790 NC or VA census, however according to the
