From Maryland Historical Magazine, vol. XVI, Baltimore, 1921, p. 238:

"Between various fords on the Main Falls of Patapsco River and fords on the lower reaches of Gwinn's Falls there existed in the eighteenth century three main roads, which, because their origin is mysterious and not explained by any known records, may possibly have been survivors of earlier military roads or even of Indian paths.

"In November 1733, the court appointed Charles Wells overseer of the road 'from the lower wadeing place of the main falls of Potapsco to the second wadeing place of Gwinns Falls' and of the road 'from the lower fording place of Gwinns Falls to Moales Point.' The lowest ford on the Main Falls of Patapsco River was situated in the immediate neighborhood of Relay or Avalon, near the site of the old Hockley Forge."

[The site of the Hockley Forge is on Levering Avenue in Halethorpe.]

• Appointed: overseer of certain roads along the Patapsco River, Nov 1733, Baltimore Co., Maryland, United States. "In November 1733, the court appointed Charles Wells overseer of the road 'from the lower wadeing place of the main falls of Potapsco to the second wadeing place of Gwinns Falls' and of the road 'from the lower fording place of Gwinns Falls to Moales Point.' The lowest ford on the Main Falls of Patapsco River was situated in the immediate neighborhood of Relay or Avalon, near the site of the old Hockley Forge."

Charles married Sarah Wright ⁵ ⁶ on 3 Jun 1726 in Baltimore Co, Maryland, (United States).⁷ Sarah was born about 1686 in Baltimore Co., Maryland, United States, was christened in 1706 in St. Anne's, Anne Arundel, Maryland, (United States), and died about 1792 about age 106.

This date does not make sense if Sarah Arnold was the mother of Benjamin and Charles Wells, as listed in the same source, unless they were born out of wedlock. When did Sarah's first husband, John Arnold, die?

Charles Wells (1745-1815)

Charles Wells, born 06 Apr 1745 son of Benjamin Wells and Temperance Butler, married 27 Dec 1764 Michal Owings who died on 17 May 1783, two months after the birth of her 10th child. He then married 24 Jul 1784 Elizabeth Prather, daughter of Charles Prather and Ruth Tannehill. They had 12 children making a total of 22 for Charles. The 20th was named "Twenty Wells" b: 23 Nov 1798 and was described in her father's will. (also mentioned below) as "a helpless child". His 3rd child, Temperance Wells b: 01 Sep 1769 m: 1) Nathaniel Wells (b: 01 Apr 1762) and thus formed one of the Big Wells-Little Wells family bonds. Nathaniel Wells was a son of Alexander Wells and Leah Owings.

Sistersville [West Virginia]
"Charles Wells also had his ties with a town called Sistersville. The exact year that Charles Wells, the first settler of prominence, arrived in the area which is now called Sistersville, is not known. In 1800, he had surveyed a tract of 200 acres on the Ohio River. Charles Wells was a man of prominence, who was involved with the Virginia State Legislature between 1789 and 1810. Sometime around 1802, Wells left Wellsburg in a flatboat and floated down the Ohio River to settle one mile below where Sistersville now exists. In his cargo was the machinery for a horse mill which he established. He built a log cabin just south of where the Sistersville Golf Course is today.

"On May 9, 1813, he acquired four hundred acres of land on which Sistersville and close residential area is located. Soon after the first court of Tyler county was held in his home, Charles Wells died in 1815. His grave has this inscription: "Charles Wells, born April 6, 1745; died April 6, 1815: aged 70 yrs. and ten days; a native of Baltimore County Maryland; immigrated to Ohio County, Virginia, 1776. He was a practical farmer and the father of twenty-two children, two wives, ten by the first and twelve by the second."

"His will provided for each living member of his family. In 1815, the Wells sisters, (Sarah and Delilah Wells Grier) laid out the town on the land which they had inherited. Sistersville hence got its name from the seventeenth and eighteenth children of Charles Wells. The town was incorporated Feb. 2, 1839, under the name Sistersville and in 1845, the municipal government was established.

"Charles died April 16,1815 in Baltimore County, MD."

HISTORY OF MIDDLEBOURNE, WEST VIRGINIA: Excerpts from "The Tyler Star News--Historical Edition; Vol.75, No. 30, Thursday, Oct 1, 1964; Sistersville, West Virginia. "William Wells, who lived a few miles above Middlebourne was the owner of a number of slaves. The stone house on the farm was completed in 1804 and is probably the oldest house in the community. Stone for the building was quarried on the farm mostly by slave labor and the work required about three years. As soon as the land was cleared, it was planted in tobacco which was the main industry for many years. William Wells deeded one acre of ground to the Methodist Episcopal Society in Nov. 13, 1820 on which a log cabin was erected. It was used as a school house and church for more than fifty years. The building was torn down about 1875, soon after the Methodist Church at Alma was built on its present location. This one acre plot, on which the log house was built was the beginning of Beachwood Cemetery."

FROM THE SAGA OF WILLIAM WELLS, COUNTY PIONEER By Daisy Furbee Wells: Wells Manor near Baltimore, Maryland was William's Birthplace. His father was Benjamin Wells who had five sons, including William. After the Revolution Benjamin moved his family and his slaves to Western Pennsylvania, and later to the norther panhandle of Virginia, where the town of Wellsburg was founded by Benjamin. William married his first wife, Catherine Sellman(Selmon) of Jefferson County, Ohio. They went south, and purchased a small farm with two log cabins, a few miles from Bethany, West Virginia. Around 1798, they explored land further south and eventually purchased 585 acres of land to build their permanent home. In May, 1800, be bartered for a flatboat and brought his wife, eight children and several slaves down the Ohio to a landing near where Sistersville now stands. William Wells was a tireless worker and keen business man. In less than four years, he and his sons and his Negro workmen had built the stone house, hauling the native stone in ox carts from the hollow in the hills back of the farm. The walls of the new home were 18 inches thick, straight and true by plumb-line measurements. On Jan 27,1813, the township of Middlebourne was established and William Wells was the first-named of the seven trustees. Early in the year 1816, sorrow came to the Wells household. On Jan 22, 1816 Catherine Sellman Wells died, leaving her Husband and children numbering eight sons and daughters. She was buried in the small cemetery near the stone house, beside a daughter-in-law, who had died the previous year. Five years after his first wife's death, William married Margaret Ankrom who was 37 years old at the time. He organized the first Court in the home of Charles Wells, his older brother at "Wells Landing', later named Sistersville. Later, he was made Acting Justice of that court, which was moved to Middlebourne. When Squire William's oldest brother, Charles, founder of Sistersville, died in 1829, William was named executor of his estate. William Wells was dignified in appearance; kind and cheerful in manner; wise in judgement; reserved yet forceful in his convictions; a good neighbor and a Christian gentleman.

William married Catherine Sellman ⁴⁶ in 1787 in Fort Pitt, Ohio, Virginia, United States. Catherine was born on 17 Sep 1760 in Adams Garden, Baltimore, Maryland, (United States) and died on 22 Jan 1816 in West Virginia, United States at age 55.

William next married Margaret Ankrom on 2 Oct 1821 in Tyler Co., (West) Virginia, United States. Margaret was born on 27 Feb 1786 in Tyler, (West) Virginia, United States and died on 24 Oct 1868 in Tyler, West Virginia, United States at age 82.

-Unknown - there is a gravestone in Long Reach Cem engraved "Child of Nicholas and Rachel Wells, died Aug 12 1862", with no first name or DOB. None of their known children died in 1862. Appears to be a son.

-Unknown - 3 unidentified children, may be all sons. UNPROVED
- see note

note: Based on numbers for 1820/1830/1840 census, it appears there were 12 children counted in census, with at least 5 male, and 7 female. It appears all the males but Philip died before 1858 without heirs. Only Philip, Rachel and Delilih are specifically mentioned in Nicholas' 1858 will, but there is reference to "other daughters and descendents of deceased daughters", with no mention of other sons/descendents.

It is of course possible that some of the children counted in these census records were nieces/nephews or other children they were raising.

Nicholas left a will with three codicils. The will set aside land and road access for a graveyard, which is called "Long Reach Cemetery". He also freed his two slaves and their children, left them with some land and money. The 3rd codicil basically disinherited granddaughter Elizabeth Moore.

From the Will of Charles Wells, father of Nicholas, dated Dec 13 1814:

..."Item 3. To my son Nicholas Wells, he being already provided for, it is my will that he have nothing more of my estate either real or personal except whatever after my decease my said wife may gratuously give him of the part intrusted to her disposal."

From the Will of Elizabeth Wells, probated spring of 1845, mother of Nicholas:

..."3rd. I will and bequeath unto my son Nicholas Wells the Sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars in addition to what he has already received."

A LONG LIFE

Death of an Aged West Virginia Lady

There recently died at her home near Sistersville, Tyler county, a lady who has lived under the administration of every President since Washington. This was Mrs. Sarah McCoy. The Sistersville Democrat says of her:

She was born in Brooke county, W. Va., in 1793; she came to this place with her father's family of twenty-two children in 1806. She was the mother of eight children, six of whom are dead. She has been a widow since 1835. As a child she gathered wild flowers where the streets of the town now are. She attended school in the old house, the very site of which is gone--engulfed by the river. She saw the keel boats float down the river, then a narrow and deep stream. She has seen the flat boat superseded by the steamer, a magnificent floating palace. Again, she saw the steamer partially fall into disuse by the railroad. She has seen the log cabin with its puncheon floors replaced by elegant houses with carpeted floors and fine furniture. The linsey dress has given place to silks and satins, and the handkerchief tied over the head is replaced by the artistic hat or bonnet. She has lived under every President of the United States from George Washington to Grover Cleveland.

Sistersville, she saw planted in the wilderness when she was a child, and hunted "ground berries" among the corn, where now stand substantial houses and handsome stores.

~ The Wheeling Register - December 27, 1887 ~

• Inherited: part of 400 acres where Sistersville now stands, 1815, (Sistersville), (West) Virginia, United States.

• Laid out: the town now named Sistersville, jointly with her sister Delilah, 1815, (Sistersville), (West) Virginia, United States.

Sarah married John McCoy ⁷² on 22 Apr 1817 in Tyler Co., (West) Virginia, United States. John was born in 1784 in Ireland, died on 26 Aug 1835 in <Sistersville, > Tyler, (West) Virginia, United States at age 51, and was buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Sistersville, Tyler, West Virginia, United States.

Hauntings at Woodlawn Cemetery (from http://www.forgottenoh.com/Counties/Lawrence/woodland.html ) :

"Woodland Cemetery in Ironton is said to be haunted by the ghost of a young woman whose abusive husband killed her by throwing her down a flight of stairs. A life-sized statue of her stands above her grave, and a handprint appears on its cheek even after the cheek has been sandblasted. The statue is supposed to be warm all the time, even in the coldest months.

"Woodlawn is also said to be home to the ghost of a Russian ballerina, who is entombed in one of the family mausoleums. Her likeness is carved into the mausoleum. On nights with full moons, it is said, you can see her dancing outside her final resting place.

"Dr. Joseph W. Lowry also haunts Woodland, seeking vengeance for his murder and mutilation. Dr. Lowry is often seen with his mother, who died from a broken neck when she was thrown from her carriage by a spooked horse. They walk together toward the cemetery gates but never make it past the highway bridge. "

"I remember her heating gladirons in the oven and ironing clothing and linens by the light of kerosene lanterns. That same oven turned out freshly baked bread unlike any found in the markets of today...

"My mother played the piano for pleasure--hers and the family's. I can also hear the tinkling notes of 'Angel Voices Ever Near'--and weep at the memory.

"She died in 1942 at age 49 in Long Beach, Calif. She should be remembered for many things (pecan pies!), but a couple of memories stand out.

"There were the Saturday night family baths in that big galvanized tub in the kitchen, filled with hot water from the top of the wood stove. My turn came late and the water was fairly well saturated with [grime] of the weeke when my turn arrived. I never saw my parents as they bathed spared major destruction."
---------
Son DeWayne B. Johnson wrote of his mother, Lula Mae, on 8/17/1986:

"The 12 years of widowhood -- it seems a short time now but a long time then in the context of a boy growing through the teens -- for my mother were mostly years spent scraping to stay alive, taking in boarders, working on my uncle's [George M. Talbot's] dairy ranch, slaving at Jergen's soap factory. She even worked for a time as cook and housekeeper for the movie stars Frances Dee and Joel McCrea.

"Very soon after Alex's death the 37-year-old widow, three children, cousin Owen Mulholland made their way across country in the Model A Ford open touring car to California, Burbank. We came at the invitation of Uncle George M. Talbot, owner of the Talbot Dairy.

"Of that trip, the rust-orange dust accumulated while crossing Arizona evokes the strongest memory. There were flat tires, how many I have no way of recalling...

"Lula and Aunt Fannie Talbot belonged to the Bon Ami social club, primarily devoted to bridge. (The tagalong youngsters popped popcorn and played street games: tag, run sheep run, hide and seek, totally inocuous by today's standards.) Most of the Bon Ami members were married couples. It was that group that constituted the bulk of Lula's contacts, leading to the job at Jergens soap and to acquaintanceship with widower Frank Joanis, a Burbank grocer.

"Their dating continued for several years until Joanis quite suddenly married another woman whom he had recently met.

"The move to Long Beach was occasioned by supposed house maid opportunities that never materialized...

"My mother died at 49, the victim of a fad starvation diet that was supposed to reduce the size of a goiter, more imaginary than real (Real enough but of no consequence.)

"She was a loving mother, ill-equipped to help a young man, Clifford, and a growing boy, DeWayne, to understand the changes in their male bodies...

"To put things a bit into historical perspective, World War II was well along when Lula died. The Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor had occurred six months previous, Dec. 7, 1941. Lorna and I were married on Aug. 22, 1942, soon after her death in June."

According to DeWayne B. Johnson 8/17/1986: "Son Ralph was something of the farm foreman and the rest of the siblings battled over the smallish estate, contending it was unfair of Ralph to have taken advantage of the situation to assume control of the ranch."

D. B. Johnson further writes: "The forks of the Platte River come together at North Platte, Nebraska, and part of the bottom land of the Talbot Ranch was divided by the river. My vague recollection, substantiated by I know not what, is that on one occasion when my family was visiting the ranch Grandmother Talbot and I got mired in quick sand and she held me aloft as we sank into the gooey substance. needless to say, we were rescued, or I wouldn't be able to write this way to you today."

General Notes: From DeWayne B. Johnson's book "I Have Met a Lot of Generals," 2007:

Big brother Cliff was an eagle scout and knew 'everything.' He taught DeWayne, five years his junior, how to tell time. He shoed him the ropes, literally, in swinging from a cable attached to a high limb and jumping what seemed to be great distances from the high bank into the side yard of the frame house recently built by father, Alex. And typing of knows, Boy Scout style. Club house secrets in the musty storm cellar well-stocked with canned fruits and vegetables. Shelves of home brew: Rood beer! An open door to friends. In particular Cliff knew how to bury potatoes in a hollow in the ground, cover them with rocks, which in turn are covered with fragrant brush, dried leaves, heavier sticks to create larger embers..."

Medical Notes: Died on his back patio [in Studio City] while reading the Los Angeles Times.

• Moved: Moved to Burbank from Nebraska, 1930, Burbank, Los Angeles, California, United States. Moved to Burbank, California from Nebraska with his mother and family. His mother lived in Burbank for 11 years. Clifford was still living in Burbank when his mother died 6/28/1942.
