No will, inventory or rec- ord of the settlement of his estate has been found, but a deed executed by his widow Hannah was executed February 2, 1687-88, and it is probable that his death had then but recently occurred. Children : 1. Samuel Starr (2), born December 11, 1665, was living in 1687. 2. Thomas, see forward. 3. Comfort Starr, born August 7, 1671 ; no further record is found; she probably died young. 4.

The family name of Wells, or

WELLS Welles, is derived from the Nor- man-French "val," a vale or val- ley, and its plural, "vals," is from the Latin "vallis." It first occurs with the prefix "de" in the ablative plural, "de vallibus," meaning

118

"from the valleys." subsequently as de Welles, and finally as Welles or Wells. When mem- bers of the family first came to America the form Welles almost prevailed : but the most common form at the present time is Wells. The Wells Arms-Shield : Or, a lion, rampant, double-queued, sable, armed and langued gules. Crest : a demi-lion, double-queued, of the shield. Motto: Semper paratus. (Al- ways ready. )

The origin of the Wells family is in the House of Vaux, of the ancient province of Neustria. In the year 911, Charles III. of France ceded to Rollo, the Norwegian viking, who at the head of a band of Scandinavian pirates had captured Rouen on the Seine, the larger part of this province, which was there- after called Normandy. As early as the year 794, the House of Vaux occupied a prominent position and had intermarried with many of Europe's reigning families.

The earliest record found of the English branch of the House of Vaux, in which the Wells family had its origin, is that of Harold de Vaux, Lord of Vaux in Normandy, who having conferred his seignory upon the Abby of the Holy Trinity, founded at Caen in the department of Calvados, France, by Queen Matilda, came into England about the year 1120, with his sons, Hubert, Ranulf and Rob- ert, and settled in Cumberland county in the lake and valley region of northwestern Eng- land. The sons thereupon took the name of de Vallibus, signifying "From the Valleys," indicative of their dwelling in that region.

Robert de Vallibus, a lineal descendant of Hubert de Vallibus, the eldest son of Harold de Vaux, is designated in the English records of 1145 as Robert de Welles, and his descend- ants bore this name as Lords de Welles of Rayne Hall, Essex county, England. About the year 1194, Adam, a grandson of Robert hold- ing the Manor of Welles, near Alford, Lin- colnshire, is on record as Adam de Welles. He died without issue, and was succeeded in his manor by his brother, William, and he by his son William and grandson Adam. The latter, Adam de Welles, was summoned to parliament, February 6, 1299, as first Baron Welles. lle was constable of Rockingham Castle and warden of the forest. King Ed- ward 1. of England granted to him, in 1299, a coat-of-armor. His successors in the barony are as follows: 2nd, Robert, son of Adam, 1311; 3rd, Adam, brother of Robert, 1320; 4th, John, son of Adam II., 1345: 5th, John, son of John and a distinguished soldier in France and Scotland, 1361 ; 6th, Lco, grand- son of John 11., killed in 1461, at Towton Field; 7th, Richard, son of Leo, 1469; 8th,

Robert, son of Richard, who died without is- sne ; 9th, Richard Hastings, brother-in-law of Robert, 1483.

It is an easier matter to trace a line in the British nobility, descending as it does through the eldest son or those succeeding to the title, than to perfect a genealogy of one of the younger sons who does not achieve in that manner an entry upon the records. The younger sons intermarried with and became a part of the middle class, and the outcome was God-fearing, liberty-loving people, from whom many of the Puritans and early emigrants to America descended, The Wells family is one of the oldest in England, dating back for eight hundred years and from different off- shoots of this old English family all the vari- ous branches of the Wells family in America are descended.

(1) William Wells, the progenitor in Amer- ica of the branch of the family noted in this sketch, according to a family tradition, was born in 1755, in or near Londonderry, Eng- land, which is a small market town, formerly called Newton, in the parish of Burneston, in the North Riding of Yorkshire. Diligent search of the records there, however, at the instance of the family's chronicler, has failed to show the connection between the families living there at this time and those in this country, nor does this circumstance prove the tradition untrue. Another tradition, coming very direct, has it that William Wells came to America when a young man, accompanying some English troops previous to the revolution, but when hostilities broke out he was found fighting for the cause of liberty.

The Pension Bureau records show that he enlisted from Chesterfield, Massachusetts, for a term of five years, as a private in a com- pany commanded by Captain William Watson, in Colonel Bonney's regiment, and that he served about three years during the first en- listment. He participated in the battles of Bunker Hill, White Plains, Bennington, Fort Miller, at Saratoga, when General Burgoyne surrendered, and was wounded in the head at the battle of White Plains, supposed mortally ; but recovered by having his head trepanned. He was made lieutenant, to take the place of his superior killed in the battle of Bemis Heights in 1777, and continued as such until his return home in 1778. He served in 1780 for five months and thirteen days in Lieuten- ant Benjamin Pike's company, with the troops sent from Massachusetts to reinforce the con- tinental army under General Washington ; also enlisted, August 10, 1781, in Captain Ebenezer Strong's company, Colonel Barna- bas Sears' Hampshire county regiment ;

marched to Albany, August 17, 1781 ; served at Saratoga and in defense of the northern frontier, and received an honorable discharge November 20, 1781.

Not long after the close of the revolution, he and his family removed to Pownal, Ver- mont, settling in the southern part of the town, near the Massachusetts line, which property, owned in 1910 by Marcus A. Dunn, was known as the Wells Farm. Record of deeds filed at Pownal, show that William Wells, yeoman, purchased fifty acres March 9. 1797, from Enos Briggs, yeoman, paying $133.33, and he sold the same property, Au- gust 27, 1798, for $300, to James Hall, of Pownal, and on the latter paper he signed himself "William Welles." He removed with his family in 1798 to Hampton, Washington county, New York, where he cleared land and built a log house in what was at that time a sparsely settled section of the country. In the war of 1812, when the county was threat- ened by invasion by the British, by way of Lake Champlain, although aged three-score years, he shouldered his musket and enlisted September 2, 1814. in Essex county, New York, Captain Augustus Cleaveland's com- pany in the Ninth Regiment, New York mil- itia, and when discharged, September 9, 1814, was sixty-five miles from his home. He died in Hampton, New York, February 5, 1825, and was buried there.

William Wells married Eleanor Hickey, un- doubtedly in the year 1778, for the records of Chesterfield, Hampshire county, Massachu- setts, under date of November 9, 1778, show their intention of marriage. Both were then residents of that town. She was of Scotch- Irish descent, and was born about 1760 in the north of Ireland, and is said to have come to America when about fifteen years old. After her husband's death, she removed from Hamp- ton, New York, to Pownal, Vermont, to re- side with her oldest daughter, Betsey, who had married Zadock Pratt of that place in 1798 and she died there, April 3, 1838, as is shown upon her tombstone in the old Lovat burial-ground at Pownal.

(II) William (2), son of William ( 1) and Eleanor (Hickey) Wells, was born in Pownal, Vermont, September 18, 1784. He removed with his father's family in 1798 to Hampton, New York. and there helped clear up a tract of farm land and erect thereon a log house, on what in 1910 was known as the Melvin farm in Hampton Hollow. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, enlisting at Granville, Wash- ington county, New York, in Captain Martin Lee's company of riflemen, Colonel Pliny Ad- ams' One Hundred and Fifty-fourth regiment, New York militia, his service commencing on September 11, 1814. The soldiers in his com- pany were discharged, and he returned seven- ty-five miles to his home, directly after the battle of Plattsburgh. In 1837 he removed to a farm in the eastern part of Whitehall, New York, on the road from the Methodist Episco- pal brick church to Poultney, Vermont, and subsequently purchasing the farm adjoining on the west, removed to it and died there, Janu- ary 26, 1873.

WELLS The Wells family of Johnstown descend from Hugh Wells, of Connecticut. The name is an old and honored one in England, where it dates from 1120 in Cumberland and Norfolk. Adam Welles was summoned to parliament February 6, 1299, as first Baron Welles. He was constable of Rockingham Castle and war- den of the forest. There are only four Eng- lish peerages older than this now in existence. In New England the family is an early and prominent one. In the early history of Johns- town and Fulton county the family appear as first settlers, manufacturers, business and pro- fessional men, and has been closely identified with the development and progress of that lo- calitv.
