Steve,

I see you are from the Abner Wells line. Is that the Abner who was in LCT by
1810? I descend from Thomas Wells who was in LCT by about 1823. As I have
worked with my Wells line I have been assuming (bad idea I know) that Abner,
Peyton, Anthony and Aaron Wells were all related but have found no evidence of a
relationship between them and my Thomas Wells line, have you? Thomas Wells was
from North Carolina and if I remember correctly Abner, et al were from
Virginia. If you know of a connection between these two Wells lines please let me
know
