CHILDREN

Jedediah Wells

Birth about 1773 Bridgeport, Fairfield, Connecticut

Note:  THIS MAY NOT BE ONE OF THEIRS.

There was a Jedediah listed among the children on ancestry.com, but at 1784 and his sister, Ellen, was born that year.  I suppose it is possible, but when I found the death date for a Jedediah and in Connecticut, I decided that since there is no source for the parents' marriage, this is possible and doesn't conflict with the other kids.  So, he may or may not be a child.  The name is unusual enough that it caught my attention.  So, if you know for sure, please share with us.
