If you had any doubts that the Zachariah Wells of Sullivan County, TN & Whitley
County, KY was a different man from the Zachariah Wells of Lee County, Virginia, you can
put them to rest. I have discovered a lawsuit in Whitley County, KY whereby the children
of the Sullivan County, TN & Whitley County, KY Zachariah Wells sued their brother
Abraham Wells for taking some land owned by their father. Furthermore, the children are
all identified. The lawsuit went from 1838-1845. Attached to this record is the "Find
A Grave" result for Jeremiah Wells (1791-1848), the son of the Sullivan County, TN
& Whitley County, KY Zachariah Wells, who is buried in the Wells Cemetery in Sullivan
County (photo attached). I will try to attach the file to this email, but if it does not
work, please email me at wellsga(a)bellsouth.net and I will send the file to you. Can you
smell the smoke from the smoking gun?
