AL was the twelfth generation born in Massachusetts. He was appointed a Holloway Plan midshipman at the University of New Mexico, and received a United States Navy commission upon graduation with a bachelor of science degree in chemical engineering. He was promoted to Lieutenant aboard the guided missile cruiser USS Chicago (CG-11) during eight PIRAZ assignments off the coast of North Vietnam covering withdrawal of United States troops from Vietnam including the mining of Haiphong harbor and destruction of 13 North Vietnamese MiG fighter planes. His service decorations included the Combat Action Ribbon, a Navy Unit Commendation, a Meritorious Unit Commendation, the National Defense Service Medal, and the Vietnam Service Medal with two bronze campaign stars. He completed graduate work for a master of science degree in environmental engineering while serving as assistant professor of naval science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

AL resigned his Navy commission to protest amnesty for draft evaders and Presidential Proclamation 4360 terminating registration procedures under the Military Selective Service Act. He became a professional engineer, and retired following a 33-year civil service field engineer career investigating aquatic biochemical ecology of North American forest brooks and rivers receiving municipal and industrial wastewater.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with AL or other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA. Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
  • Ronald Wellman Find Relationship : AncestryDNA Paternal Lineage (discontinued) 32 markers, haplogroup I1, Ancestry member ronwcsc
  • AL Wellman: Family Tree DNA Y-DNA Test 37 markers, haplogroup R-M269, FTDNA kit #998687
Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
  • AL Wellman: Family Tree DNA mtDNA Test Full Sequence, haplogroup H, FTDNA kit #514257
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with AL:

Thanks so much for adding family to Appleton Mckee Appleton Hollister McKee (1760-1832)! They are my ex-husband's ancestors, and so my daughter's. She'll be please to know that more family has been identified.

Hello ...I came across your name when looking to add to Hannah Weston Kinney, and John Kinney's profiles. I wanted to add their gravestones, but then realized that they may be copy written so, I thought I would just share. I am related to you by so many of the Mayflower families, some of mine are Standish, Doty, Hopkins, Soule, Billington and more that relocated to Nova Scotia. I was looking for a stone for Randall and Rebecca Mac/McDonald, in the Chebogue Cemetery, Yarmouth County, NS. Hannahs stone has Kenney, and John's has Kinney, the way my mother's maiden name is. I will take a drive and get my own pictures soon, meanwhile you can find them on find a grave in that cemetery.
Hi Al,

You recently added a daughter Mercy to Ephraim Morton without a quality sources on either profile. What is your source for that information? Would you please post it to the profiles in question?

S, PGM Project

posted by S (Hill) Willson
Please forgive my delayed response to your July 29th comment on my profile page. Travel has recently kept me away from my data sources. Ann (Cooper) Morton seems the most likely mother of Mercy (Morton) Rickard from the information I have found, including Mercy's revised birth date indicated by the note on her profile, which would fit within a birth order gap in Ann's children, while George Morton's other male descendants were not having children. Health problems may terminate my attempts to verify this conclusion with mitochondrial DNA evidence. If you feel uncomfortable with the present parentage, I request you remove it, while adding notes similar to the following text to the respective profiles to emphasize availability of this mtDNA data for other researchers investigating this possibility.

Cooper-1309: " Mercy (Morton) Rickard has been suggested as a possible daughter of Ann Cooper. This possibility may be supported by matrilineal descendants with mitochondrial DNA haplogroup H-T195C!. This relatively uncommon back-mutation has not yet been assigned a standard alphanumeric suffix, and will be reported as simply H by 23andMe."

Morton-179: " Ann (Cooper) Morton has been suggested as the mother of Mercy Morton. This possibility may be supported by matrilineal descendants with mitochondrial DNA haplogroup H-T195C!. This relatively uncommon back-mutation has not yet been assigned a standard alphanumeric suffix, and will be reported as simply H by 23andMe."

Hi, Al, I saw your DNA note for Toney-961. Thank you for posting it. I wanted to put in the link for easier reference. They have all kinds of explanation pages but I could not find the Y-DNA results listing. Do you have a link? Thanks, Cindy

Finally found it! I added the link to the profile. Thanks for getting that onto the profile.

Greetings,

I believe I placed the correct spouse for Seaman-1637. My mother's maiden name was Clowse, somewhat close, uhh near, to the spelling of your Jacob. Emigrated from Ireland in the 1840s(?) to Lower Canada, then New Hampshire, then Vermont. Don't see it spelled w/ the "w" too often. D. Jenkins

Hello AL,

Thank you for responding.

If you could please give us a general idea of the ways in which you have been contributing to the Acadia Project for the last couple of months, it would be very helpful to the leaders.

7. Diaspora

? Can you let me know if you’d like to stay on in the new project and which team(s) you’d like to join. Please also let me know your e-mail address so that I can get you added to the project’s Google Group or confirm you are already a member of the google group.

Many thanks,

Hi Al,

Would you like to be seen on WikiTree as one of the "go-to" people for your Mayflower ancestor, Thomas Rogers? The Mayflower Project would like to involve you in a new effort to update Mayflower profiles and establish Mayflower passenger "Teams", beginning with the Rogers family.

Goal: Every project profile will have an accurate, written biography, with inline citations, using primary sources and reliable secondary sources.

I hope that you will be eager to contribute towards this goal starting with the family of your ancestor, Thomas Rogers. Please send me a private message and let me know your thoughts? Once I know you are interested in helping, I will send you an invitation to join the Mayflower Google group. When you accept the invitation, we will be on our way.
