There is no wife listed for Thomas. The wife of J(ohn) is shown as Lady Plantegenct. This Thomas came to America and landed in what is now Salem, Mass., on 6-24-1629. He was followed shortly by his 7 sons who all settled in R.I. Lord Leo de WELLS, is the step father of the mother of Henry VII, of England. In the same writting I find a Robert de WELLES, born Essex, England about 1145 and a William de VALLIBUS (Later changed to VAUX, now WELLES, WELS or WELLS). Sorry for the delay in getting back to you but I wa changing my data from Family Ties to Brothers, via GEDCOM and had to do quit a bit of editing. This Thomas show's a brother, Rev. William WELLS the 1st. who as born in 1566 and dies in Norwich, England, May 20, 1620. I have a four (4) page writting that I got out of a family bible of my Great Grandfathers that tells a lot about the WELLS family back then. I'll either make it available on here or you can send me you address and I will mail it to you. I have just about completed a 250 page (in the rough) book on our family. I still have a lot of holes to fill in yet tho. I have photo copied every Doc' that I have and inserted it in the proper place so it is more like 400 pages now. It is in 8 1/2 x 11 format at this time and is make up of every FG page and the photo copy of all doc's plus the pedigree chart. The afore mentioned WELLES appear to be several times removed in relationship to my line, but we are still trying to tie it all down. Most of my family came form WELLS RIVER & NEWBURY, VT.

Additional excerpts Page 8: A tradition handed down from Col. Frye Bayley, and others of the first settlers, relates that in the same year (1704), one Capt. WELLS and a samll force of men descended the Connecticut. At the mouth of WELLS River several of the men fell sick with samllpox, and the party spent the winter or a part of it there, building a samll log fort for their protection, subsisting by hunting, fishing, and upon supplies purchased from the Indians. It is said that some of the men died there, and the river took its name from their leader, who may have been Capt. Jonathan WELLS of Deerfield. Page 106: Mr. Grye Bayley, in 1836, pointed out to Dea. D. T. WELLS, who died in 1899, the location and general plan of that bulding (the Fort), which stood on the narrow summit of the ridge at the left had, beyond the cemetery, going toward the Ox-bow.
