 Includes NotesNotes for John Wells Jr.:

Will of JOHN WELLS, JR. of the City of Washington, D.C.

Dated: August 1841
Probated: January 24, 1843

To wife Hannah Wells, all estate; should the law require an administration of the estate (which I hope may not be the case), wife to be executrix, and consult Samuel Redfern who I know to be an honest upright gentleman.

Wife to rear up as her own my two orphan grandchildren John Wells Williams and Hannah Olivia Williams, and in no event let them hold any communication with the Rev, Charles A Davis as I am convinced he is a low vulgar fellow, of brutal and malignant disposition, and errant hypocrite, and a disgrace to the church to which he professes to belong.

Executrix:Hannah Wells, wife
Witnesses:Richard Gott; R.M. Boyer; John George Law

Washington D.C. Will Book 5, pp. 290-291(284-285); OS. 2399; Box 16
