OK, I am dealing with about four different GEDCOM files from various
researcher descendants of the Zachariah Wells family in trying to put
together the "pedigree" file for the BYU Wells DnA study.. Here is what I
seem to be coming up with:
Zachariah Wells b: Cir 1739 (I don't think anyone REALLY knows when he was
born but this will do)
m: Abigail Osborne b: 15 Jan 1757 Orange Co., VA
Does anyone know where this precise date came from? It wasn't long ago
that we were not really too sure Zachariyiah's wife was really Abigail.
Children:
1) Abigail Wells b: Cir 1771 (one shows Cir 1785) m: William Landers.
Can anyone confirm that Abigail was a child of this couple. Does anyone
have the descendants of this person?
William Landers b: Cir 1812
Nancy Landers b: Cir 1814
2) Thomas Wells b: Cir 1772
I have a tree leading down from Thomas through William Thomas Wells then
Elihu Wells to Lavinia Wells Morgan to Sophronia Morgan Eversole with a
direct line two more generations. There are no spouses in this export and
I am hoping the person who sent it will send me another without trying to
pull the direct line only. Does anyone have more information on this
branch? I do have additional info from another GEDCOM showing the wife as
Rebecca Blevins and children:

Any corrections to names, spouses and dates welcome. Additional children?
Need more because most of these don't go any deeper. If any of you can
generate gedcom files including these lines, please send them to me.
This family and three others are a bit of a problem for me at this point.
I just do not have good information on them.
