    Name:      Luke Wells

  • (Groom) Marriage: 27 September 1831; Wayne Co., New York, USA; Bride=Samantha Coon
  • (Groom) Marriage*: before 1850; prob., Grand Prairie, Marion Co., Iowa, USA; Bride=Nancy _____
  • Death*: 20 April 1892; Toledo, Tama Co., Iowa, USA; Luke Wells and Samantha Coon were united in marriage on September 27, 1831 in Wayne County, New York.
    Three children were born to them in Wayne County; Ann in 1832; Elizabeth in 1834; and Gilbert in 1836.
    Two more sons, Jerome in 1838; and Courtland in 1840, were added during a brief stay in Onandage County, New York.
    Alice Samantha joined the family in Rochester, Monroe County, in 1842. The last two little girls, Lilly in 1848 and Flora in 1853, were born the years in Grand Prairie Township, Marion County, Ohio.
    In the spring of 1856, the family, with the exception of the three oldest, furthered their trip westward. They left Ohio with several neighbors by oxen and horsedrawn wagons to make their home in Mitchell County, Iowa.

    Luke and Samantha settled on land in Jenkins Township. Soon the town was having pangs of growth and a desire to establish schools and churches. Luke, it is told in the history of Mitchell County, offered land in 1857 for a school, money was raised but because of title complications the school was not located on that site.

    In 1858, they suffered the loss of their son Gilbert who was laid to rest on the hillside in Riverside Cemetery.

    The Civil War began and son Jerome went to fight for the Union cause with Company H 32nd Regiment from the State of Ohio. He was mustered out in 1865 in Savannah, Georgia, suffering the rest of his life with the effects of the war.

    In the 1860's Luke sold out and the Wells family went to join daughter Ann's family in Toledo, Tama County, Iowa for its final residence. This time their daughter Alice was left behind to make her home in Riceville as the wife of Isaac David Foster.

    Lily married William Mitchell of Toledo. She was the mother of three children, one of which died in infancy and the other two were left when Lily died at 25.

    Flora taught school in Toledo for a few years, retiring to marry William Ross and raise two daughters who succumbed in their teens to a malady that was common to that time, consumption.

    Luke worked as a farmer, distiller and Road Commissioner during his life. He died in Toledo in May of 1892 and Samantha died shortly after in December of 1893. They are buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Toledo.
