HARLES C. WELLS was born in Deerfield, Franklin county, Mass., April 15, 1808. His father, David Wells, was born in the same place, February 5, 1774, where he always lived and owned a farm, until about the year 1811, when he sold out and went to Waterbury, Vt., and purchased a farm. He never was very well satisfied there, and after a residence of about five years he returned to his native town in Massachusetts, where he died June 29, 1845. In September, 1794, David Wells married Sarah Burt, daughter of Jonathan Burt, of Brattleboro, Vt., by whom he had eleven children, Charles C. being the eighth child and third son. Mrs. Sarah Wells was born probably in Brattleboro, Vt., August 15, 1774, and died in Deerfield, Mass., March 7, 1856. Charles C. Wells lived with his parents only until he was thirteen years old, when he went to live with a farmer named Simeon Childs, with whom he stayed eleven years. Until he was twenty-one he was kept under the strictest discipline, and was never allowed to go "to town" except upon urgent business. He only had three holidays in the year, 4th of July, the day after Thanksgiving, and town meeting day. Christmas and New Years were like all other days with him, and he was kept at work. He

worked Mr. Childs' farm on shares for three years after he was twenty-one, and came to Michigan, arriving in Franklin, this county, July 31, 1833. Previous to his coming he had sent money to his brother, David Wells, who settled in Franklin, in 1831, for the purpose of buying land. David purchased 120 acres on sections 3 and 4, which was owned jointly with Charles C. When Charles came, in 1833, work was commenced on this land. Considerable improvement had been made by Thomas Nelson, who located it, and it was only a very few years before the Wells brothers had a very desirable farm. June 5, 1835, Deacon William Bradley came in from Orleans county, N. Y., in search of a home, and was so favorably impressed with this farm that he purchased it at the first offer. Charles and David then went to Ypsilanti and purchased a farm two miles southeast of the village, but sold it in about six months. David, who had lost his wife with cholera in Detroit while returning from a visit, returned east, and Charles returned to Franklin, and during the summer of 1836 he purchased 160 acres of land on sections 3 and 4, where he now resides. This was mostly new land, called white oak openings, covered with large trees and grubs. Mr. Wells found the grubs hard things to contend with, but as the trees were scattered about, he, after a few years made a good farm, which now is situated in the most pleasant and desirable portion of the entire township. He now owns 327 acres of land, with good buildings and conven- iences. Mr. Wells has always taken an interest in the welfare of his town and neighborhood, and from the very first was active in laying out roads, and establishing schools and society, and still feels an interest in the progress and advancement of all public matters, moral, mental and social. July 15, 1838, Charles C. Wells married Druzilla Welch, daughter of William and Huldah Welch, of Franklin, by whom he has had eight children, as follows: Sarah E., born July 28, 1840, at home; Childs, born November 16, 1841, a farmer of Franklin; Isabelle, born May 7, 1843, now the wife of A. L. Morsman, a farmer of Franklin; Wyman B., born August 10, 1844, died September 16, 1845; Luthera, born April 5, 1846, now the wife of Amos J. Sayers, a farmer of Franklin ; Mary A., born July 16, 1848, now the wife of Millard F. Hunter, a farmer of Orland, Steuben county, Ind. ; Samuel W., born February 23, 1852, at home; one child died in infancy. 'Mrs. Druzilla Wells was born in Vermont, March 5, 1810, and went to Porter, Niagara county, N. Y., with her parents, when she was about three years old, where they resided until 1836, and · then came to Michigan and settled in Franklin, this county. There is no record of her family to be found, and the history,

when he settled there, and but very little improvement had been made. Indian trails and blazed trees had to be followed in going from one house to another. He assisted in organizing the township, laying out the roads, building bridges, establishing schools, etc., and was present at the first town meeting. He has always been able to provide enough for his family to eat and wear since he has been here, but he has known men who were not so fortunate. He has seen the time when there were no provisions to be had for money, and many new comers were hungry and dis- couraged with the prospects, but courage and a determination to stay, on the part of the settlers, soon brought about a change, when comfort and plenty came. One year he sold wheat in Adrian for 48 cents per bushel. It then took two days to go to market. From 20 to 25 bushels of wheat was a full load for a yoke of oxen, for the roads were horrible, and the hills were almost im- passable. He resided in Cambridge until the spring of 1871, when he moved to the city of Adrian, where he has resided ever since. March 21, 1829, Peter Onsted married Elizabeth Conklin, daugh- ter of Isaac and Jane Conklin, of Sparta, N. J., by whom he had ten children, as follows: Ann, born in Sparta, N.

- BEL WHITNEY, son of James and Mary (Frisbie) Whit- ney, born July 26, 1813, whose record is on pages 86 to 90, inclusive, of the first volume of Whitney & Bonner's Bio- graphical Record of Lenawee county, lived for nearly one year with his maternal grandmother, Rebecca (Hayes) Frisbie, and was four- teen years old when she died, December 9, 1827. She was daughter of Ezekiel and Rebecca (Russell) Hayes, born October 30, 1750, and married Capt. Abel Frisbie, a mariner, June 3, 1771. Her mother, Rebecca Russell, was born February 6, 1723, and died May 27, 1773. She was daughter of John and Sarah (Trow- bridge) Russell, of Branford, Conn. He was born January 24, 1687, and died July 7, 1757. His wife, Sarah Trowbridge, was born November 26, 1686, married December 17, 1707, and died January 15, 1757. Therefore, as Abel Whitney was fourteen years old when his grandmother died, and she seven years when her grandmother, Sarah (Trowbridge) Russell, died, it follows that three lives span the years from 1686 to 1880, with a fair prospect for the latter of many years to come. Eze- kiel Hayes was born at Simsbury, Conn., one account says, October 21, and another November 21, 1724. He was a prominent citizen of New Haven, Conn .; married Rebecca Russell December 26, 1749, and died October 17, 1807. His son, Rutherford, was the grandfather of President Hayes, and his son Ezekiel, was the

John Whit- ing was son of William Whiting, who came from England and settled at or near Cambridge, Mass .; removed in 1636 to Hartford, Conn., where he was a wealthy merchant. He was a representa- tive in 1637, assistant in 1641, and treasurer of the colony, from 1643 until his death, in 1647, where he was called major.

298
HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD
married Huldah Silliman, daughter of Isaac and Mary Silliman, of Delaware county, N. Y., by whom he had eight children, Alan- son being the oldest. Mrs. Mary Bangs died in Raisin, August 12, 1856, aged ninety-nine years. Alanson Bangs lived at home until he was about twenty one, was brought up a farmer, was inured to hard labor, as his parents were poor, and he being the oldest of the family took the heaviest of the work. He was mar- ried just after he was twenty-three, and the following spring, with his young wife and about one hundred dollars in money, he started for Michigan, arriving in Tecumseh June 8, 1825, being six weeks on the road. He came, expecting to settle on land that his father had taken up, on section 32, in Tecumseh, but it was covered with heavy timber and he did not like it, and soon after purchased forty acres on section 4, in Raisin, having only about ten dollars left after paying for his land. He lived on his first purchase for about seven years, when he traded for eighty acres on the same section, where he lived as long as he followed farming. He afterward pur- chased 160 acres on section 5, making a farm of 240 acres of prime farming land. He was a thorough and successful farmer, an enter- prising, honorable citizen and kind neighbor. He was one of the earliest settlers of Lenawee county, coming in the year after its first settlement. He saw it in its native wilderness, and contrib- uted as largely as any other man to rescue it from that state, and develop its present high condition of cultivation and prosperity. In his habits he was quiet, unobtrusive, industrious and unosten- tatious. In his manners he was courteous, friendly and kind, but diffident and retiring. His affections were strong, and his friend- ships ardent. He loved his family with a fervency of affection rarely equaled. He was a devout Christian, though his extreme timidity of spirit deterred him from ever uniting with the visible church, or publicly identifying himself with its enterprises. De- cember 15, 1824, Alanson Bangs married Mary Mackey, daughter of Uriyon and Jane Mackey, by whom he had eight children, as follows: Joseph, born November 16, 1827, and died January 18, 1832; Betsey Jane, born October 11, 1829, now the wife of George W. Haight, of Jackson, Mich .; Uriyon F., born January 20, 1831, died August 8, 1842; Huldah M., born August 31, 1834, now the wife of Edward L. Russell, of Raisin ; Hannah J., born May 3, 1836, and died March 12, 1837; Alanson B., born Octo- ber 23, 1838, a farmer of Raisin; John F., born May 4, 1840, died August 8, 1842; Mary Ellen, born November 14, 1843, died October 27, 1850. Mrs. Mary Bangs was born in Stanford, Dela- ware county, N. Y., September 12, 1801, and is still living in Raisin. Her parents were farmers of Stanford, and were early
