B. Jean,
In answer t0 your 6/9/99 email, which I appologize for being behind, I
have
Thomas WELLS, son of Zachariah WELLS, Jr. and Rebecca Shepherd, as being
born 1800.
Thomas WELLS married Mehala TAYLOR 29 APR 1823. Mehala was born 1807.
I do not have a son of theirs listed as William Thomas WELLS. If William
Thomas were their son he would be too young for a Rebecca SHEPHERD born in
1798.
I have Thomas and Mehala's children as:
Elizabeth b. 1839
Mahala b. 1842
Margaret b. 1845
Jemima b. 1848
If you have any info to document William Thomas WELLS as their son, I
would
like to see it.
Eddie
Marble Falls, TX
