Hello all,
I have had some time to do a little research lately and have mostly been
working on Pennington and Caudill lines. However, whenever I research my
Penningtons I always find some information on a lot of my other family
lines. My mothers family is a close-knit bunch of people.
While searching out the Caudill family, I talked to Elsie Banks from
Little Cowan in Letcher Co. Ky. She has a family bible that once
belonged to James Caudill, Jr. born in Lunenburg Co. Va. It has quite a
bit of family history recorded in a beautiful old-style handwriting.
I found four Wells names listed that I feel sure are from the family of
Ezekiel (Son of William and Susannah Ward Wells) and Emaline Day Wells.
It reads as follows:
William B. Wells
was borned the twenty-first day of October, 1842
Phoe ____ Wells bornd second day of June 1840
Benjamin Wells bornd
fourth day of August, 1862
Martha Wells bornd
the seventh day of June 1864
------------------------------------------
William B. Wells married Fairaby (probably Phoeboe) Caudill on June 2,
1840 in Perry Co. Ky.
Fairaby was a daughter of Isham Caudill, son of James Caudill, Jr.
Bringing up a different subject, does anyone have any details about
Susannah Ward Wells wife of William Wells (son of Zachariah Wells, Sr)?
