AE "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. It is clear that this Nunam Wells is not the same person as the Newman Wright Wells , despite the fact that both Nunam Wells and Newman Wright Wells at one time lived in Buncombe Co., NC. Newman Wright Wells was apparently a considerably older person than Nunam Wells. What information I have about Newman Wright Wells is fragmentary and
sometimes contradictory. If we could get more concrete information about Newman Wright Wells it is likely that we would find a relationship to the members of the Wells family whom I have identified as my ancestors.
