GREG,
Thank you for looking up these stats.I trace my linage to Mary Lavina
Wells (Yates)and Rebecca Wells (Yates)who wwere my ganunt(Rebecca) and
ggrandmother (Mary L.)x4.
They both mr. Solomon Yates and went to Mo.to live.Throughout family
history it was pretty well known that "Granny Yates"Mary L.never saw her
mother Rebeca Shepard Wells or father Zach Wells. again.So, I have no
information "THIS" Zach. Wells was ever in MO....if I understand you
correctly.I beleve Elizebeth was a sister to MAry L&Rebecca Wells
(Yates)Irefer to information from he Sheperd and Cubertson family
history.
Being born in Montana(now in Seattle)I know Three Forks and Three Forks
Babtist Church well.Where also is held the "Granny Yates Picnic(which I
was unable to attend this year)and near Dry Creek Cemt.(where Grannywas
buried in 1907)
Some of your information and stats were very intresting.
Also intresting;the parents of Solomon Yates are listed as Seley Yates
and William Yates both of Lee Co. VA and Gentery Co. Mo(although a
common name in those days Iwonder if her maiden name was Jones)??
Since I have been doing genology on my Sitton and Callantine families,I
have some information to go back to my Wells family and the elusive
Zach.
Thank you again.......Andy Kidd,Seattle,Wa
