Hello Andy,
My line is from Richard Wells m. Nancy Brown
Zachariah Wells m. Abigail Osborne
William T. Wells m. Susannah Ward
Zachariah Wells m. ? Buster
Lewis Wells m. Lucinda Johnson
Hannah Jane Wells m. D. C. (Peter) Mays --- My grandparents
The following Census data is the only source data I have, other than
marriage record for Lewis and Lucinda, and my grandparents death
certificates and grave site's. If you could fill in any of the gaps for me,
I would be very grateful.
I only have one child for Zach and Jane Buster. Was Lewis an only child.
Zach married Malinda Johnson, mother of Lucinda, a couple years after
Lucinda and Lewis were married. Looking at the Census for 1880, it apears
that Zach and Malinda may have had a son together.
I have been told that Lucinda's brother Alfred Johnson, was the son of
Malinda's brother in law, William Boggs. Who was Lucinda's father?
Thanks for your offer of help.

Hi Wells cousins,
Its so nice to see some activity on this lsit.
I have been on is lsit over 3 years and have a wrath of Wells info.
Juda, indeed the Wells were productive.
John "A" or "O" Boggs and NAncy Wells had 13 children..cnt 'em
13......I
have the birthdate and name of children if anyone is intrested.
I trace my line thru Zach. Wells 1(married Osborne)their son Zach Wells
2(married Rebecca Sheppard) were the parents of my "Granny Yates"(MAry
LAvina Wells Yates) and her sister who both married the same man (John
Solomon Yates)
To the researcher who was seeking information regarding Susan
Ward....she married Wm Wells who was the son of Zach Wells 1,nad a
misnister in the "Three Forks Babtist Church" ( now Big Stoney Gap).and
yhes, I have found many Methodist and Baptist minuisters in the "Wells
family"
I would be glad to share any of this information......I have reams and
reams of "Wells Family" genology.
God bless America and keep the peace......Prey for those in NYC......
Thanks
