Hi Rob,
We have the Virginia Project for work on Virginia profiles (pre or post 1700), please join us if you have an interest in Virginia:
Please see our page for sourcing Virginia profiles here:
Here is info on John Well's birth and death counties:
- https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Warwick_County%2C_Virginia
- https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Isle_of_Wight_County%2C_Virginia
Please feel free to add more sources to the Warwick or Isle of Wight pages if you have them for those counties.
Your suggested sources:
- Transit and Land Grant:
- Baptism Record:
- Marriage and receipt of property due to death
- No link given, so source is unsubstantiated. Can you provide a link or other info for another person to reproduce your findings?
Regarding the parents, please source the profile first, then if it is very clear that parents are wrong, correct them. Otherwise, please try to engage with the other profile managers to discuss parents before making changes. Also, since you have yDNA testing for yourself leading to John Wells, if we can find another Wells to do DNA confirmation with for the parents that would be best.
Thanks.
-William
