Information came from Jack's grandson, John Green Wells (son of William Edward Wells and Martha Ann Massey), b. December 05, 1867, in Honoraville, Crenshaw Co., Alabama. John Green Wells then passed the information along to his grandson, Edsel Wells (son of Reuel F. Wells and Mary Clara Sims), b. 12 Jan 1924 in Honoraville, Crenshaw Co., Alabama. Also given to Edsel Wells were the names and birth dates of Jack Wells' 5 children.
Recently, we located the John Rollon Massey Family Bible and found the names John Wells and Phoebie Ellis listed as the parents of the 5 children that also confirmed their birth dates. The lady who supplied the John Wells and Phoebie Ellis names is deceased and no one knows where she got the information. The 5 children and their spouses (if known):

I am also looking for proof of birth of his children:
I have extensive info on all the above families and their descendants, but am unable to trace the ancestry of John Wells. There is information in the records of South Fork Baptist Church, Malone, Kentucky about a John Wells and a William and Jemima Wells. William died in 1823 and his wife Jemima died in 1827. I do not know the relationship between John and William or if they have a relationship to my John Wells who died in 1837.
There is also info about a William and Jemima Wells who owned property in Russell County, Virginia in 1806, as well as a John Wells who owned property there. They possibly migrated to Kentucky from VA, but again am not sure of the relationship to my branch of the Wells family.
I have lots of information/documentation up to Josiah...anything before him is a mystery!
Hope someone can connect!
Thanks in advance for your time and attention!!
