Excerpt from William Wells and His Descendants, 1755-1909 During the past few years, at leisure moments, I have been collecting material for a genealogy of our branch of the Wells family, and although the record could probably be made more complete by taking additional time, yet I feel the importance of putting the information already obtained into permanent form and making it accessible to the members of the family without further delay. Only those who have undertaken a work of this kind, however brief, have any conception of the labor, patience and persistence, to say nothing of the expense, to bring it to completion. The infor mation has been obtained from family records, official documents and written or verbal testimony of the living, and every effort has been made to secure accuracy. Errors will possibly be found, and if so I would be glad to be notified so that cor rection can be made so far as it is possible. In the back of the book are some blank sheets for the purpose of recording any additional items in the way of births, marriages, deaths and other im portant. Family events. It is earnestly requested that the various members of the family into whose hands a copy of this book may come, see to it that such entries are made, and the author would also like a transcript of such records for his own copy.
