Lucy,
The Rev. Wm T Wells I have desecended from was married to Rebecca Shepherd.
He was also a preacher at the previously mentioned churches (according to
church minutes and family records). It is quite possible the Wm. you are
referring to was a cousin of the same name and also a preacher.
FYI,
Rick

Subject: The THOMAS AND WILLIAM THOMAS confusion
Rick,
I believe you have William Thomas Wells son of Thomas confused with
William Wells son of Zachariah. Unless they were BOTH traveling
preachers and visited the same churches. Susanah Ward Wells, the wife of
William Wells who preached the gospel for many years, old Baptist, died
on March 18th 1861, according to an old diary entry.
I have the Thomas who married Mahala Taylor listed as a son of Zachariah
Wells, Jr. (son of Zach and Abigail). He later had James Wells listed in
his household, who (I believe), was his blind brother.
