M, #49314, b. 1727, d. 10 January 1811
  • Reference: W037 ID016
  • Name Variation: James Wells of DE and Surry Co NC1
  • Note*: 13 February 1737; On 13 Feb 1737 Philip Fields stated George Medcalf had a man child bound to him named James Wells being the son of your petitioner's wife. Susannah Fields made her mark.

    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.

    29 Sep 1746, Mark Manlove and John Tilton trustees of Genl Loan Office, recovered a debt of 50.54.3 against Thomas Wells, Jr, dec'd late of Kent Co by virtue of a writt seized in execution 100a with the plantation in Murtherkill Hundred called Wells Purchase, part of a larger tract called Long Reach of Thos Wells Jr,dec'd, in the hands of James Wells, late of same co yeoman, son and heir of the said Thomas Wells Jr to whom the lands descended, and did sell the same at publick vendue unto John Clayton, Jr of the same co, yeoman for 80.10, he being the highest bidder, on N side of Isaacs branch which Thomas purchased of William Clark.

    1746 Among enlisted men at Pennsylvania, Capt Shannons Regiment, King Georges War - Wells, James, 19, Kent, Delaware, July 18, lab. The company was formed and sent to Albany New York where it spent the winter. It was finally discharged on 31 October 1747, the attack having been postponed. (Ref: Pennsylvania Archives, Series 1, Volume 1, pp 688-689; & Series 2, Volume 2, pages 419 and 425 & Volume 3, page 496). Ensign of the company was Wm Franklin, son of Benjamin.

    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
