To all of those who are researching this line:
Mason County Tax List ,1792, Mason County Kentucky
Robert Wells Sr. 1 male over 21, 1 horse, 4 head of cattle
Robert Wells Jr. 1 male over 21 2 horses, 16 head of cattle
Mason County Tax List 1793, Mason County, Kentucky
Robert Wells Jr., 1 male over 21 3 horses 18 head of cattle
There is no mention of Robert Sr. So Robert's father's name is Robert who
evidently died 1972-73 in Mason Co. Ky. Note increase of livestock for
Robert Jr.
Robert Jr. moved to Tate Twp. Clermont Co. Ohio, in 1807 and according to
a deed signed on October 8, 1832 he deeded land to his son, Robert and
his daughter, Mary D. on that date. So he did NOT die in 1830 as many
report. This can be found at the Batavia Library/ Behyman Collection and
county records.
Just thought I would bring you all up to date on this info.
