Dear John & Judy:
I just found this page that helped me out. Check out The Byrne Notes on the
Yates Family History Homepage.
http://wymple.gs.net/~longstrt/yates.html
There are several entries for Wells members and mentions of Zachariah Wells
being hanged. Might be something else interesting to someone seaching for
clues.
Sincerely,
Cindy Stalcup

I have two versions of the hanging story, but I have never seen the
version which claims that he was spared. Please share it with us plus
reference. This is VERY interesting!
