I am a new subscriber to the list and was hoping to help fill in some blanks
on my Wells connection. My great grandmother was Carrie Wells born sometime
in the mid- to late 1880s probably in southwest Virginia in Lee or Scott
County. She married Orban Berry and had three children Glen, George and my
grandmother Flora. Carrie died at a young age about 1911. Carrie's father
was Preston Wells born in the early 1850s in Lee County Virginia. I believe
Preston was married more than once and am not sure which wife is Carrie's
mother, and my grandmother said he had several children(which maybe some of
you out there are related to). She remembered some of their names being
Dora, Alice, Fitzhugh, and Marie. I do not have much information on
Preston's life and am unsure of when and where he died. Not much is known
about this line in the family since my grandmother was 1 year old when her
mother died. I recently found on the Mormon site that Preston's father may
have been Joseph Wells of Lee County Virginia and his mother Elizabeth
Blair. Joseph was listed as a son of Zachariah T. Wells and Agnes "Peggy"
Culbertson. I would appreciate any information or inquiries any of you may
have. Thank you.
