8/23/92.One of his descendants, Jack Ferrill, of Fort Worth, TX, writes of his is birth-
place, (card dated 9 Jan 1984): "Evidence indicates Wells Swamp, Clinton
County, Kentucky.". (This is probably meant to be Wells Bottom, Clinton, Co,
KY.) Of his death & place of burial, Jack writes: "He was living at Sidney,
Texas at the time & died while on a visit to Haskell County. Because of the
primitive transportation & embalming methods, it was decided to bury him in
Haskell County, Texas."He came to Comanche Co., TX from KY in 1882.
Judge William Wells placed their marriage date at 1840. That would have made
him only 14 years old when he married Lydia Story, and she would have been only
12 years old. It is unlikely that they would have been married nine years
before their first child was born in June 1849. It is more likely that they
were married in 1848 and someone misread 1848 for 1840. Therefore I have
recorded their marriage date as abt 1848.

Per the Orlean Choate record: "The mother, Lydia Story Wells
