Claude,
Thanks for your input.I am still confused,and don't even know the
"marker number" for my family.
I have been going over reams and reams of deeds I have......some very
intresting....if I can reaad the English of the day (G)
I thoght this may of some help to some who do not know all the children
of "ol' Zach"and Osburn(on some of the deeds I see it spelled with a
"Z")
A question....prior to being on the "Zach Wells" site I was on the
"Little Wells site"
Most of these folks were from Ohio and the neighbooring states.Has a DNA
included the"Little Wells" as well?They talked often of some of the
names we are seeking.
I also see some of Zachs children end up in Missouri along with the
Yates,Sheprds,Penningtons....all very intresting.
I also have seen (on this site) someone saying Wells family are from
Wales........I am pretty sure it was NOT Wales but
Scotland-England....any comments there?
Zachs children are;
Joseph
Thomas-b. ca. 1771 Va..d. ca. 1845
Nancy ..b. Dec.7th..d??
Zachariah(my line)b. ca. 1775 Va. d.??
Rev. William Wells.....m. Ward..b. ca. 1779 Va.d.??
Robert Wells b. ca. 1780
Jemima b. ca.1781 NC(why was she born in NC when the rest were born
Va)d. March 1856 Letcher Co Ky. was m. to John Shurgeon
Elizabeth b. ca. 1783 m Thomas Landers
Abigail b. ca. 1785 Va
Jacob Wells b. ca. 1787 Va m Johanna Shepard..they were dismissed by
letter from the "Three Forks Baptist Church" at Big Stone Gap i july
1826.When estate of her father,James Shepard was setteled in 1853 in
Jackson Co. Mo she was living in Andrew Co Mo.
John P. b. ca. 1789..Va
Jerimiah b. ca 1792 Scott Co. Va(evt. part of Wise Co.)d 18th Nov.1845

whew..and that concludes the children of Zach.....if anyone is from
these lines and I have given an incorrect date..PLEASE let me know.
