I was intrigued by John Wells' info in his e-mail Food For though from July
1st, I believe. It mentioned that a William Wells and Mary Hardner were his
parents.
I did some looking in our library IDI index and in Maryland September 21st
1749 William Wells married Mary Harner.
Interestingly they disappear, no other references. Usually those in the IDI
have their children with parents mentioned. Jemima was listed in North
Carolina for births, but no parents listed.
In my notes Kathryn Rush Gavan had 1752 as the birthdate for Zachariah. So
the dates would suggest that this could be true.
If she is not on the list, I will have to contact her by snail to find her
source for the 1752 date of birth.
Any other thoughts or insights?
Also, A while back I was in Virginia for a weekend and went to Abingdon to
look for info in Washington County. Nothing there on the Wells' . Just a
few references and not of the names we are tracking.
So it seems the Fincastle area is the correct path in my humble opinion.
