Sally I am also searching the Wells Family of Charles City County. My ancestor is Elizabeth Wells, first wife of Allen Rodney Bernard. Allen was born 1795 in Fluvanna County & died 1866 in Nansemond. He was a Methodist minister. He and Elizabeth Wells, his first wife, had a son Samueal Allen Bernard who was a doctor in Bertie County, NC. I think Elizabeth died very young between 1817 & 1820. Do you by any chance know of her parents? Maybe she was Braxton's relative? Thanks for any help or leads to other Wells researchers. Jim Utley
