Hi! I am new to the list and have just started digging deeper in to my
WELLS line. My connection:
Elizabeth WELLS
b. ca1810 (1815?) in VA
m. ca1830/1 in Lee Co., VA to John HUFF
(s/o William and Sarah Joseph HUFF)
d. aft 1880
Children: Rebecca Ann, William T., Cassandra, Sarah, Leana, Mary A.,
John, and Elizabeth
From John's death (18 Aug 1855) info in the Lee County, VA Death
Register, the informant was Solomon WELLS, brother-in-law. Also, John
was brother to Elizabeth HUFF who married Solomon WELLS. From other
cursory research, the only Solomon WELLS that seemed to fit is the son
of Zachariah and Rebecca (Shepherd) WELLS.
Also, from the 1860 US Census in Wise Co., VA:
Family #
473 - HUFF, Elizabeth 50
475 - WAMPLER, Isreal 48 & wife Abigail 48
- WELLS, Zachariah 80
479 - WELLS, Mahal 38
- WELLS, Rebecca 81
Can someone confirm if this Rebecca is the wife of Zachariah, Jr.?
Also, can anyone help me confirm that my Elizabeth is the daughter of
Zachariah & Rebecca?
