J. L. Wells
(I think James Lloyd) Wells, born 20 May 1839 in Alabama (maybe Shelby County), died 04 Feb 1885 in Chilton County, AL. He married Martha Lucius in Muscogee County, GA, 29 Aug 1859. Both are buried in the Clanton City Cemetery in Chilton County. Any information on either would be greatly appreciated.

"Jack" Wells
b: Cir 1810 & d: Cir 1855 in Muscogee County, Georgia.

Information came from Jack's grandson, John Green Wells (son of William Edward Wells and Martha Ann Massey), b. December 05, 1867, in Honoraville, Crenshaw Co., Alabama. John Green Wells then passed the information along to his grandson, Edsel Wells (son of Reuel F. Wells and Mary Clara Sims), b. 12 Jan 1924 in Honoraville, Crenshaw Co., Alabama. Also given to Edsel Wells were the names and birth dates of Jack Wells' 5 children.

Recently, we located the John Rollon Massey Family Bible and found the names John Wells and Phoebie Ellis listed as the parents of the 5 children that also confirmed their birth dates. The lady who supplied the John Wells and Phoebie Ellis names is deceased and no one knows where she got the information. The 5 children and their spouses (if known):

  1. William Edward Wells, b. 11 Apr 1839, d. 25 Aug 1900, in Honoraville, Crenshaw Co., Alabama, bur. Honoravillle Cem., m. 14 Sep 1865 in Columbus, Muscogee Co., Georgia Martha Ann Massey, b. 22 Jun 1840, in Muscogee Co., Alabama, d. 11 Jul 1923, in Honoraville, Crenshaw Co., Alabama, bur. Honoraville Cemetery (daughter of John Ross Massey and Georgianne Russell)
  2. James M. Wells, b. 15 Oct 1841. When Martha Ann Massey applied for a widow's pension in 1914, James Wells sent an affidavit from Columbus, Muscogee Co., Georgia to the effect that he had served with William Wells in the Civil War and that he had lived continuously in Muscogee Co., Georgia since that time.
  3. Lucy Ann Wells, b. 22 Nov 1843.
  4. John S. Wells, b. 28 Feb 1850.
  5. Nancy Catherine Wells, 17 Feb 1852, d. 10 Jan 1910 in Honoraville, Crenshaw County, Alabama; Bur. Honoraville Cemetery. m. 15 Dec 1875, John Rollon Massey, (son of John Ross Massey and Georgianne Russell) b. 10 Oct 1851 in Muscogee Co., Georgia, d. 09 Dec 1931 in Honoraville, Crenshaw County, Alabama, bur. Honoraville Cemetery.

Jacob possibly killed in a duel with his father-in-law 1868 in Starke, Bradford Co. FL Who were his parents?

Editor's note: This appears to be the family in question in the 1850 census. Does anyone have any further information?

Division 18, Putnam, Florida file #000-059, page 196, dwelling 34


(shows they moved to Florida between 1848 and 1850). The 1840 census for GA should catch Martin there with 4 males under 10. That might yield further clues.

James Wells
b: 13 Mar 1792 in NH
I am desperately trying to locate parents/siblings of James Wells b: 13 Mar 1792 in NH. I do believe it might be Grafton or Sullivan as he married to Persis Earle on 21 Dec 1810 in Chester, Windsor Co., VT (proven). He served in the U. S. Army, 11th Infantry as a regular (not volunteer)1812-1815. It appears most of his service was in NY -- specifically Buffalo, Batavia, Vernon, Rome and possibly Rochester. He had a watercolor picture painted about 1812 in Rome, NY by James Vadder.

I am also looking for proof of birth of his children:


They removed to Ohio between 1820-1830 and lived in what is called the Firelands .. Erie and Huron Counties. They are buried in Norwalk, Huron County, Ohio.

James Wells
I am searching for the antecedents of my remote ancestor James Wells, b 1899 somewhere in South Carolina. He married Elizabeth Roberts of Kentucky (daughter of John Roberts and Nancy Cox of Kentucky, grand-daughter of Joshua Roberts, ? of Virginia) in Posey County Indiana in 1828, where the family continued to reside off and on for the next 80 years.
This James Wells was the first James William Wells in our line. The names James, John, Raymond, William, and Thomas recur every other generation.
Family legend has it that three brothers emigrated from Wales "when New York was still New Amsterdam," and that two brothers were stone masons or bricklayers (a traditional occupation in the family according to census records) and one was a doctor. I have always associated their immigration to America with their Catholic religion and a possible adherence to the Old Pretender.
James is too young to have appeared on the 1790 census rolls himself. And without a clue as to the name of his father or the precise location in South Carolina, I am at a dead end. I do know that James and Elizabeth had children named John, Lycurgus, David, Thomas, and Burnett.

    I have extensive info on all the above families and their descendants, but am unable to trace the ancestry of John Wells. There is information in the records of South Fork Baptist Church, Malone, Kentucky about a John Wells and a William and Jemima Wells. William died in 1823 and his wife Jemima died in 1827. I do not know the relationship between John and William or if they have a relationship to my John Wells who died in 1837.

    There is also info about a William and Jemima Wells who owned property in Russell County, Virginia in 1806, as well as a John Wells who owned property there. They possibly migrated to Kentucky from VA, but again am not sure of the relationship to my branch of the Wells family.

      Justus Wells
      b abt 1816 OH and m. Cordelia Bratt 2/22/1840 in Muscatine Co., IA. Arrived OR 11/15/1849 and died abt 1892 in Yreka, CA. 8 children (3 or 4 born IA all others b. OR). Cordelia's father, Samuel Bratt, and Justus Wells were both in 1840 census in IA but Justus was supposed to be from OH. His parents and family were supposedly from Wayne Co., OH. Think he is son of Justus Wells b. 5/10/1787 and d. 11/6/1834 in Petersburg, NY and Rachel Hall b. 3/29/1773 RI. This theory is not proven, though, and I need any info anyone can give on this line.
