Biography
- The name of the wife of Robert Welles is known from the Chancery suit brought by her grandson John Welles to recover land in Burmington, Worchester, England. Her name was given as Alice with no clue given as to her LNAB or parentage.[1][2]
- They had two known sons, Robert and Thomas; however, it is likely they had several more.
- Alice was last known living in November 1615 when the Final Concord was made settling property on their son Thomas Welles.[3][4][5]
Birth
- Born: Say 1645.
- The date is rough estimate to make her birth date approximately match that of her husband. She may have been born later given the estimated birth dates of her children and grandchildren.

- Children:
- Robert Welles. Born say 1580. Named as eldest son in the 1548-1550 Chancery suit. He was buried on 21 June 1627.
- Thomas Welles. Born say 1590. He married in 1615 Alice Tomes when land was settled on him by his father in consideration of his marriage. He immigrated to New England in 1635. Thomas Welles died on 14 January 1659/60 at Wethersfield, Connecticut.[6]
Death

Research Notes
- Last Name At Birth: This profile previously called her Alice Hunt, daughter of Thomas Hunt of Astley, Shropshire, England and his wife Agnes. No evidence has been found to support this, and it is extremely unlikely that she would have come from Shropshire.
- Final Concord of 1615 Fine:
- Final Concord made in Michaelmas Term, 13 James I (2-25 November 1615] between Thomas Kecke and Joseph Phelps, querents, and Robert Wells, Sr. and Alice, his wife, Robert Wells, Jr., and Joan, his wife, and Thomas Wells, deforciants, concerning one messuage, one cottage, two gardens, two orchards, seventy acres of land, six acres of meadow, forty acres of pasture, and six acres of furze, heath, and common pasture, in Burmington, co. Warwick, with warranty against Robert, Robert, and Thomas, their heirs and assigns. (Feet of Fines, Warwickshire, Michaelmas Term, 13 James I, 366).

A reliable source is needed showing her parentage and last name at birth
edited by S (Hill) Willson
Then it also shows here married to a John Wells and having one son named Thomas Wells (1566-1620) (Thomas Wells: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/LZKN-1Y5).
I think that may be a "bad connection" as I don't see any comments that says she was married to a John Wells (1529-1572).
However I found Thomas Wells here in WikiTree at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wells-5687 and his profile here has him listed as married to a Joanna Barber which does match one of his wives listed on the Family Search profile. But the key is that the WikiTree profile list the parents of Thomas Wells as Robert Welles Sr (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Welles-40).
In conclusion, the questions remains, who are the correct parents of Thomas Wells (1566-1620) https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wells-5687?
It seems like maybe this Thomas Wells (1566-1620) may be confused with Thomas Welles (abt. 1590 - 1660) https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Welles-29 who was the son of Robert Welles Sr and Alice (Hunt) Welles.
If so possibly Welles-5687 should be disconnected from Welles-40 as his father?

More research required into this profile, which is likely a conflation of multiple people
Are they the same person? This I believe is her husband John (Welles) Wells.
She had 3 children named Hugh T Welles: Welles-97, (1590-1636); Wells_Welles-2 (1590-1672) and Wells-123 (1595-1672). She had 3 children named Elizabeth (Welles-3, Welles-245 and Wells-1837) She had 2 children named Alice.
