In his will, dated 9 February 1637, Thomas Welles referred to his wife, but not by name, and to his three minor children, Thomas, Mary, and John To his eldest son, Thomas, he bequeathed his house, after the death of his mother. This confirmed Jacobus's suspicion that the house mentioned in the will of Thomas Coleman had been the rightful property of Frances and her son in the first place.
Thomas Wells/Welles, who was born say 1595, and died in 1637, leaving a will dated 9 February 1637, proved that same year. … His father, whose name has not been learned, was still living in 1637, when Thomas made his will, forgiving him a £5 debt and bequeathing to him an additional £6. The will also mentions a godson John Wells, who was probably his nephew. Because the name Wells is commonplace in English records, it has proved impossible to trace this family further with any degree of confidence.
