  18 June 1745. The petition of Henry Wells sheweth that the petitioner is uncle to James Wells who is an orphan and destitute of friends, maybe by taking the said James from the people in whose hands he now is and give him such education as the nature of the case will require and recompense which in your vision think proper.

  The first North Carolina record I have for James Wells, Sr. is his entry onto a 250-acre tract of land on the waters of Harmons Creek in Surry County, NC on 5 April 1787. The 250-acre tract on the waters of Harmon Creek was located right near the border between Surry County (in the portion that is now Yadkin County) and Rowan County (in the portion that is now Davie County. - Tony Collier

  I'm looking for ANY info on Salathiel NEWNAM (1732-1806). He
  wasn Delaware in 1781 witnessing a will for someone in the
  North family, and he moved to Rockingham Co., NC in 1783 and
  then moved to Jessamine Co., KY in 1799 with a son , Elijah.
  Name may be spelled NEWNHAM. He was a friend of Bishop Asbury
  and may have moved to KY to start a Methodist Seminary there. I
  don't which county he would have been in in Delaware. Salathiel
  moved to NC in 1783 from Delaware. Queen Anne's County first
  appeared in March 1730. From the widow Mounsieur's plantation
  into the Forrest, from Frenches Landing to the rolling road
  into the Forrest, and from Coppinge's old field near Red Lyon
  Branch to the Chappel in Red Lyon Forrest. Daniel Newman,
  overseer. NEWNAN, Daniel, a Representative from Georgia; born
  in Salisbury, Rowan County, N.C., about 1780; completed
  preparatory studies; attended the University of North Carolina
  at Chapel Hill in 1796 and 1797; commissioned ensign and second
  lieutenant in the Fourth United States Infantry, March 3, 1799;
  promoted to first lieutenant the following November and
  resigned January 1, 1801; engaged in planting; commanded the
  Georgia Volunteers in the Creek War 1812-1814; major general of
  the third division of State militia in 1817; superintendent of
  the State penitentiary 1823-1825; secretary of State of Georgia
  1825-1827; the city of Newnan, Ga., was named for him in 1828;
  elected to the Twenty-second Congress (March 4, 1831-March 3,
  1833); unsuccessful for reelection in 1832 to the Twenty-third
  Congress; died near Rossville, Ga., January 16, 1851; interment
  in Newnan Springs (Ga.) Churchyard. James Wells was the son of
  another James Wells; I have not identified James Wells' mother.
  This couple were my fourth great grandparents. It seems likely
  that all the children of the older James Wells and his
  unidentified wife were born in either Delaware or Maryland. I
  don't know just when James Wells moved to North Carolina; the
  first record I have found for him is his entry onto a tract of
  land in Surry Co., NC on 5 Apr 1787. This portion of Surry Co.,
  NC is in present-day Yadkin Co., NC and was located quite near
  the border with that portion of Rowan Co., NC that later became
  Davie Co., NC. This James Wells died in Surry Co., NC in 1810;
  his will, dated 25 Jan 1810, was probated in Surry Co., NC in
  the Nov, 1810 term. His will identified his wife, Mary, and ten
  children. The will lists James' children in the following
  order: Thomas Wells, Elizabeth Riece, Lucretia Witty, Nunam
  Wells, Rachel Hutchens, Susannah Rash, John Wells, Marian
  Wells, Mary Beck and James Wells. It seems likely that James
  Wells was the oldest of these eight children inasmuch as the
  will left to this James Wells 'all my land and tenements and
  also one half of my moveable property.' Some descendants of the
  James Wells who died in Surry Co., NC in 1810 think that the
  wife, Mary, identified in the 5 Jan 1810 will was the mother of
  these eight children. I tend to doubt this conclusion. The
  will, in its reference to James' wife, Mary, left to her 'the
  land she brought with her when she married' and 'the other half
  of my moveable property' with the justification being stated as
  follows: 'as I consider the property she has brought to me when
  we were married as her own I want her to hold the same without
  any division.' It seems unlikely that this sort of language
  would be used to refer a wife who was the mother of his ten
  children, all of whom were probably born in Delaware or
  Maryland. On the contrary it seems more likely that it was used
  to refer to a recently married wife who had property which she
  had inherited from a former deceased husband. I have found a
  record of a Rowan Co., NC marriage bond dated 15 April 1809
  (less than a year before the execution of James Well's will)
  for the marriage of James Wells and Marey Graham. I think it is
  probable that this marriage was for the James Wells who died in
  Surry Co., NC in 1810. One further reason for this belief is
  that one of the bondsmen for the marriage bond was Joseph
  Clifford, husband of James Wells' granddaughter, Susannah
  Wells. It is also noteworthy that the date of the marriage of
  James Wells and Marey Graham was the same date as the marriage
  of Joseph Clifford and Susannah Wells. There is an article in
  the Surry County Heritage Book by one of the descendants of
  Nunam Wells, the son listed in the will of the James Wells who
  died in Surry Co., NC in 1810. I¹
