Biographical and Research Notes
Jonathan Wells died 25 Jan 1756 at Colchester "in 61st year"1
The Will of Jonathan Wells was dated 13 Nov 1753 and proved 03 Aug 1756. It mentions wife Mary, sons Jonathan, Reuben, Hubbel, James, Levi, Judah and Asahel; daughters Mary and Martha and brother Noah Wells1.
Note: It is not entirely clear from the will whether Martha was a daughter or actually the wife of Asahel. In the will Matha is entered "of whom the latter was married". Asahel's name immediately preceeds Martha in the will and Asahel is, in fact, shown by researchers as having married a woman named Martha.2
