He died 1 Sep 1805 Hebron, Tolland County, Connecticut and was buried there in Godfrey Hill Cemetery.[5]
His will mentioned both wives and all children except Thomas, b. 11 Feb 1743/4 who probably died young.
Research Notes
There is a conflict in date of birth of Thomas Jr:
7 Sep 1723 in Saybrook, Middlesex, Connecticut
27 Aug 1723 in Saybrook, Middlesex, Connecticut[5]
Note that the 2nd Thomas attributed as a child for Thomas Wells jr and Prudence under Shipman's memorial (133368443) on Find A Grave and to Thankful under his own memorial (37385018) actually belongs to neither. This Thomas is said to have been born in 1748, the same year Thankful's Bateman was born and before Thomas married Prudence. Thus, it is an error on Find A Grave, and Thomas (8 Nov 1748–2 Jul 1826) is thus not a son of Thomas Wells jr.
