I am searching for Braxton Wells. I have the following source:
Marriage Notices for Richmond, Virginia Newspapers, 1841-1853

1852

Married on the 30th ult. (December 30, 1851), in Charles City Co., by the Reverend. B. F. Woodward, Mr. Alexander B. Wells, of Richmond, to Miss Eliza Braxton Wells, second dau. of the late Braxton Wells, of the above named Co. RE, Jan. 6, 1852, p. 1.

I just recently read your message. If you are still looking I may have information to help you.

Braxton Wills was born sometime prior to 1826 (probably in the 1800 range). He died sometime prior to 1850. He married Eliza A. (last name unknow). Eliza A. was born in Virginia in 1809 according to the 1850 census. They had three children: a son Peter Wills; a daughter Anna T. who married John M. Barlow; and a daughter Eliza B. (Braxton) who married Alexander B. Wills.

I believe he (as well as Eliza A) are buried just off Old Beech Hollow Road in Charles City. That was their home place at the time of his death.

Hope this helps.

This is the correct Wells: Alexander Braxton Wells was married to Eliza A. Wills and she had a sister married to Barlow. I have his portrait and that of his daughter (my great grandmother), and his first wife (Eliza). I can send you a copy if you email me.

I was cleaning out my emails and I missed your response. One of the Barlow family members wrote me that the Barlow's lived on the original Wills farm/plantation.

Thank you so much for this burial information.

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
