Person talk:John Welles (5)

John and Thomas Welles [2 December 2008]

This is wrong, 2 brothers, Thomas and John, sons of Governor Thomas Welles and Alice Tomes have been combined on these pages, married to each others wives as well as their own. I believe John was married to Elizabeth Bourne as his only wife and Thomas married Hannah Tuttle. Who married Elizabeth Curtis, I cannot say. This is the first I have seen this marriage.--Scot 13:37, 2 December 2008 (EST)

I concur, Scot. Visit The Welles Family Association page 'Errors in Earlier Literature' for their summary of errors.

Attempted to access 9 February 2012, appears to be a dead link, but if one really needs to get at it, you may be able to find a work-around.--jaques1724 20:03, 9 February 2012 (EST)
