Carol Wells, don't you believe this is the David Wells who with your Martin Wells Jr. were Administrators for the Estate of Martin Wells Sr. You also found the widow and children of Martin Wells in Dickson County, Tenn. on Yellow Creek. Mrs. Orrick said she next found David Wells in Dickson County in the Yellow Creek area and I reminded her that Dickson County was formed from Montgomery Co. in 1803.

Friends: Be sure to keep the county formation dates in mind when researching. You may find your ancestor living in two to four different counties in a lifespan, without them ever having moved from one spot. Everyone needs Handy Book.
