    "Jonathan (Welles), b. Sep 1664 in Hartford (Barbour citing VR 3:169-170); d. unmarried in Hartford bef. 31 Oct 1687. Inventory of £440:18:09 taken on 23 Apr 1688 (Hartford Probate District, Connecticut Estate Piles, docket no. 5827). A Distribution Agreement for his estate was made 27 Nov 1695 by John and Mary Olcott as administrators on the estate of Thomas Welles, and by Ichabod Welles, Samuel Welles, Joseph Welles, Mrs. Sarah Bidwell the relict of John Bidwell, dec'd., and James and Rebeckah Judson. Sarah Bidwell protested that the distribution still had not been made as of 5 Aug 1706 (Manwaring 1:592-593, citing VI:124-125 and VII:86). The estate came under new rules set into place by the Royally-appointed Gov. Edmond Andros that required processing in Suffolk Co., Massachusetts. The family filed only an administrator's bond and inventory during the 1686-1689 period of Andros' rule (TAG 12:179 citing Suffolk Co., Massachusetts, Probate Records 10:175, 415)."
