Dear Rod,
I just happened to find your page on Eli Bigelow, which mentions a Susan na Freeman marrying William Wells of Hanover, Ohio. I am
researching William Wells for Hanover's Bicentennial, and have found nothi ng else so far, except that he was supposed to be from Glastonbury, Connec ticut, according to a local history. Also, that he gave Ohio land to rela tives named Chester Wells, Elisha Wells, and John Hollister. Do you
have any further information on him? The entry number on your page is 163 13.18
Thank you very much.
