Hi Gayl!
You missed the part with the Jackson family in my message. Squire
was listed as "Squire Wills" and was apparently working on the
Jackson farm. I have a feeling that there is some sort of connection
there since Elizabeth Jackson was living with Juliann aka July in
1860. Could Elizabeth have been Squire's aunt? Was the a sister of
Squire's father? I do not know why the descendant of this family
believes his father was J. M. Wells and mother Mary. If so then his
father may have been either Jacob Wells or Jeremiah Wells.
If memory serves, I think there was ANOTHER Jacob Wells in the area
about the time Zachariah was buying land. I don't think I have ever
seen a good identification on him.
Do you recall who asked about the family? Was it by any chance Suzie Ridge?

If July Ann's or ( Juliaann) husband was Squire Wells then he would have
died sometime in 1859 before the census and after she had gotten pregnant
with the young one named Squire.
there is no census record in Virginia 1850 that has a squire wells listed.

Does anyone know how Elizabeth Jackson b: Cir 1795 was related to the
Wells family of Wise/Lee County Virginia?
She appears in 1850 in this census record:
Gabriel Jackson 59
Elizabeth Jackson 55
Gabriel Jackson 21
Squire Wills 20
Squire Wills is Squire R. Wells who was by some accounts born in
1828. He married Juliann Henegar (also shown as Julia Ann and July).
Seven doors from the Jackson farm is this:
Eli Wells 24
Lavina Wells 20
Elizabeth Wells 3
George Wells 2
I can't believe this is a coincidence given that Squire Wells named
his first child Eli.
Squire died in 1858. In 1860 in Jonesville, Lee Co., VA (about 30
miles from Gig Stone Gap) is this
July A. Wells 29 Wythe Co., VA (looks more like a Withe -spelling was
not the enumerator's strong suit)
Eli F. Wells 6 b: Lee Co., VA
Charles H. Wells 4 b: Lee Co., VA
Sopheah E. Wells 3 b: Lee Co., VA
Sqire Wells 1 b: Lee Co., VA
Elisabeth Jackson 64 b: Giles Co., VA
There is some indication that the parents of Squire were J. M. and
Mary Wells. I suspect from the death certificate, but I have never seen
this.
There is a suspected link to Jacob Wells, son of Zachariah. But
about this time Jacob was off in Andrew Co., MO.
Does anyone have any information on these folks?
