James Wells Update

I received an email from cousin, Bonita Hilmer.  Many of you may be familiar with her, she has done a lot of research on the McManigle/Wells lines.  She was able to purchase a family bible of Burt Wells.  The following is needed for corrections to previously posted information.  Would love to get a copy of the page(s) from this bible ~smiles~  Very lucky find Bonita!


"Here is the transcription  of Burt S Wells bible: 
Bible of Burt S. Wells of Cleveland; Morgan Co., Ohio, USA Bonita Hillmer who purchased from Carol Burris who purchased in junk store in Cleveland, Cleveland, Ohio, USA, Recorded as Francis T. Wells in Bible.
Burt S. Wells married Nellie Spooner in Cleveland on July 2, 1889.

  • Justice or Justus O Wells 12/18/1823 b: NY

Interesting, as I thought 'Our James Wells', was James Fones Wells,  and this bible is showing a separate son, Fones.   Also a new daughter, Martha T. Wells and another new son, Charles K. Wells.  Need to find out if the Military information on James was correct . . .  I see an email going out again to Bonita  ~laughs~

Please add this new information to your database and please do not forget to source Bonita Hilmer, thanks.
