p. 213 - ROBERT WELLS, A soldier of the Revolution from Virginia. After the war moved to Bracken County, Ky. In 1806 he moved to Clermont County, Ohio where he died about 1827 ae 84 years.

From A. Abbott, Bethel, Ohio comes this data: Born in N. J.; died in 18?? came to Tate Twp. 1807, Chn: Aaron, Solomon, Isaac, Nathan, Jesse, John, Robert (b. 1788-d.1868) Eli, Anna.

Robert Wells settled at Wigginsville.

[Post Script: This information is incorrect based on more recent research by family members. Robert did not die in 1827 as there is documentation he was still alive in 1832 when he signed a deed and there is a physician's memo dated in 1837.
Subtracting the 84 years of his life would indicate he was born abt. 1753.
Family researchers also are not all convinced he was born in N.J.
Documentation shows he was married in Washington County in 1778... by the minister whose circut was the churches in the Conococheaque Valley of Maryland but all church records of those little parishes are gone.]
