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:
Sarah "Sal" Wells
William Thomas Wells b: 1797
Zachariah T. Wells b: 1798
Jacob Wells b: 1804
Unknown b: Cir 1806
Unknown b: Cir 1810
Robert Wells b: 1814
Hello
I guess this is the best place to state my case as I am not sure
just how I do fit. I have seen some Wells files that state Robert
Wells was the son of Thomas and Rebecca "Becky" Blevins Wells as
is stated above but I have never been able to prove this.
What I do know is that Robert Wells (stated as Jr) married Nancy
Collier, daughter of Arron Collier, Nov. 24, 1831 in Lee County,
Va by William Wells. The death record in Wise County, Va states
Nancy Wells died 8 Dec 1884 in Wise County and was the daughter
of Aaron and Francis Collier, reported by Robert Wells, husband.
