Hello everyone,
I'm posting some miscellaneous information I have found and have not been
able to connect with my line yet. If anyone knows where these fit in,
let me know.

#233 Wells, John P, age 76----Wouldn't this age make him too old to be
Zach Sr.'s son?
Eliza, age 70
DISABLED, Thomas, age 22
Jane, 17
Owen, 13

Thomas, Jane, Owen, and Kiah are listed as grandchildren

I also found at the Washington Co. Historical Society and Family Record
Collection called the Blevins Sizemore Collection 1997 Edition, Volume
One, Page 6:
Wells Blevins b. 18 Oct 1795 Ashe Co. NC Farmer, d. 25 Dec 1865 in
Grayson Co. VA. m. around 1820 (probably Ashe Co.) Elizabeth Pennington
b. 9 Apr 1798 in Ashe Co. NC; d. 13 Dec 1868 (In 1860 Grayson Co. Census
Wells Blevins is 65 and Elizabeth is 53).
Children of Wells and Elizabeth:
Mahala b. 25 Feb 1821
Biddie b. 15 Mar 1823
Bathsheba b. 18 Apr 1825
James M. b. 17 Oct 1826
Lydia b. 30 May 1828
Allen b. 7 Dec 1830
Celia b. 15 Mar 1836
Martha b. 15 Jan 1839
Mary "Polly" Blevins b. Ca. 1797 Ashe Co. NC married John Thompson b. Ca
1798
Other Tidbits:
In the Stoney Creek Church near Ft. Blackmore, VA in 1801 Stephen,
Jemima, and Comfort Osborne were members. John Bustard (Buster?) is also
listed in 1801.
Joseph Culbertson is listed on Jan 22, 1803.
In 1805 James and Mary Culbertson are listed.
These names are all related to the Wells family and I thought it might
give someone a clue to find more information.
