• Misc*: Mrs. Benjamina Wells, widow of Lewis Wells, who was born in Berlin, Erie county, Ohio, August 13, 1840, both by blood and marriage is connected with two of the most honored pioneer families of the Western Reserve. Her father was Benjamin Burgess Walker, born in Norwich, Connecticut, November 25, 1800, who, on April 9, 1827, married Miss Mary Crocker, daughter of Jabez Crocker, all of old
  Connecticut stock. Mrs. Benjamin Walker was born in Cazenovia, New York, in 1806. The father died March 21, 1840, and the mother January 31, 1869, both being buried in Wells Corners, in the Western Reserve of Ohio, about four miles south of Vermillion. That place was established by the Wells family when this family first established itself in the Reserve in 1817. At that time the grandfather, Robert Wells, came to the Western Reserve from Wells Hollow, Connecticut, and, with the parents and family, located on land along the Vermillion river. Much of the land which was then taken up by the grandfather
  and the father of Lewis Wells remained in possession of the family until 1899, and the migrating party made its first permanent stop at the place where the widow now lives.
  
  Lewis Wells was born at Wells Hollow, Connecticut, February 28, 1814, and he was three years of age when his parents brought him to the Vermillion homestead. His father. Philo Wells, was born in that place September 10, 1786, and on November 25, 1810, married Miss Hannah Lewis, born January 31, 1788.
  
  When they moved to the Western Reserve they were in the very prime of life. At that time two of their five children had been born, and when the party came to the Vermillion river, on the further side of which was their chosen land, the mother and little ones forded the stream on the back of one of the oxen. Thus did the Wells family make its entry into the Reserve which its various members were so long to honor. Lewis attended the district school at Wells Corners, was reared to sturdy boyhood, developed into a fine man, became prosperous and universally respected by his associates of a lifetime, and on October 2, 1861,
  when well advanced in middle age, married Miss Benjamina Burgess Walker, the ceremony occurring at Brighton, Ohio, five miles from Wellington. For many years he was also a county commissioner and an influential Republican.
  
  Five children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Wells: Mary Eliza, August 29. 1862: Flora Lewis, November 24, 1864; George Wheeler, October 29, 1865 (died March 3, 1866, and is buried at Wells Corners) ; Ralph Pierce, December 3, 1867; and Cornelia Crocker, June 11, 1876—all natives of Vermillion. Mary Eliza married J. Comstock, a Cleveland attorney, October 26, 1886, and they are the parents of Harriet Moore, born November 12, 1887; Lewis Wells, born November 15, 1888; and an infant who died before baptism; and Thomas Carrington, born September 1, 1897—all in Cleveland. Flora Lewis Wells married William J. Rahill,
  of Cleveland, June 30, 1886. and she is the mother of the following four children: Mina; John Welch, born March 29, 1889; Gerald D. Welch, born in 1900; and William James. On March 26, 1889, Ralph Pierce Wells married Sarah Esther
  Frankel, at Oberlin, Ohio, and these children have been born to their union: Daniel Lewis, born in Omaha, Nebraska, June 4, 1890; Earl Walker, also a native of that place, born October 11,1891 ;Benjamina Bessie, born in Brownhelm.
