Hello Michelle...Welcome to the family of brick walls....Orin, I see, did
inform you of being related to Zachariah and Aaron Wells....he needs to
include family # 28, Robert Wells. I can give you, maybe, a little
information that may help to guide you, or at least give you another
option to look in to.
Robert Wells(b.1753 abt) has the same DNA numbers as the two Orin
mentioned.
Robert also has a son named Issac (b. abt 1779 in Va.we think). He
married Margaret Reddick on 14 Dec 1807 in Bracken Co Ky. They had 5
children. If one were to follow the names, I find this possible. Some of
the family moved to Marion County, Indiana and from there they split to
northern Illinois, Missouri and Texas. Some also stayed in Ohio....But as
to where and who are Issac's sons...this is any one's guess.
Good researching...Michelle. Hope this gives you a path to
follow...Carolann

Hi, All. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Michelle
Manley
Wells, and my husband is the Ggrandson of Isaac Kindred Wells. Orin
informed
us just this week of the exact match of Isaac K. to both the
Zachariah Wells
line (W020) and the Aaron Wells line (W016). I guess we are family
#92 on
the Wells DNA chart (ID#131). Prior to the test, the only
information we
have on our early Wells family is the following:
Isaac was b. July 14, 1830, in Jefferson Co., TN, we think; d. April
07,
1903, in Indianola, Indian Territory (Pittsburg Co., OK); m. Martha
Ellen
Eastin, February 25, 1853, in Charleston, Coles Co., IL. Isaac is in
the
1850 census in Coles County, living with Alexander Montgomery 42 b:
AL;
Lucinda Montgomery 37 b: KY; 7 Montgomery children all born in IL
ranging in
age from 4 months to 14; Isaac Wells 18 b: TN (no occupation given
leading
me to wonder if the Montgomerys are not family). Isaac K. was
residing in
Olney, IL, when he enlisted as Corporal on 1 December 1861. On 10
April
1861, he enlisted in Company A, 63 Infantry Regiment Illinois and
mustered
out on 9 April 1865. Martha E. Wells filed for Isaac's military
pension on
29 April 1903, according to the Civil War Pension Index. Their
children were
John Andrew Wells (November 17, 1857), Cynthia Jewell Wells
(February 22,
1861), Isaac Sherman Wells, my husband's grandfather (August 17,
1869),
Joseph C. Wells (March 09, 1872), and Mary Alice Wells (June 21,
1873).
I look forward to working with you to find yet another connection
to
Zachariah and Aaron Wells. If any of the above rings a bell, please
share,
as Isaac Kindred has been a "brick wall" for many moons now.
Michelle
