I believe this Philip WELLS to be the son of Samuel Wells and Ann Hamilton. 1840 he is living in Hart Co., KY with neighbors of brother-in-law, Daniel BOONE and brother William WELLS.

You might be right, but note that William Wells was the brother of Samuel Wells, not Samuel's son. I've been slowing trying to look for x-DNA matches within the Wells family to confirm relationships. We know Lavinia and Sally were daughters of Philip (Sr.). So we might be able to find x-DNA matches to either daughters of Philip (Jr.) or to daughters of Samuel. Either would prove the correct ancestry. Bill Utterback has done the most extensive research on the Wells family to my knowledge. I'll write to him about his.
