(family Bible & Newfoundland Archives)
Beginning with my Great Great Grandparents...
JAMES WELLS and PHOEBE HINDS (Hynes)
married at Mose Ambrose
Children - LEVI WELLS (my Great Grandfather)
born 1876 in New Harbor, Newfoundland
Elizabeth born 1859, Amelia born 1860, Joseph born 1864, Charles born 1867,
William born 1869, Jonathan born 1871, twins James and Ann born 1873, Isaac born 1879.
This is all the information of Levi's parents or his siblings, I have so far.
If you have further information on my WELLS family line,
Great Grandpa Levi married Julia Cox
JULIA COX daughter of John Cox and Elizabeth ?
born about 1882 in Terrenceville, Newfoundland
Siblings - George, Steven, William, Bess, Margaret, Minnie
As written in Aunt Maggie Wells Family Bible
(Obtained from Nfld Site) Possible desendent of
Elizabeth Cox (1737-1827),
Her name has been handed down to succeeding
generations as "Grammar Cox". She was the mother of nine-teen children
and these with their descendants spread themselves over sections of Fortune
Bay and along the Coast to Channel and further. The male descendants
roved from Grand Bank nearly a century ago but some of them are here
today in the Welsh's, the Francis', and the Matthews', and other families.
She may or may not have been born at Grand Bank,
possibly her husband was an Englishman.
