Ryarsh, Kent (3.0 miles away)

1 year ago.

 

I found some Ryarsh Parish records online and found a James Welles christened on 13 Mar 1792 to a Nicholas WELLES. This happens to be the EXACT date of my 'brick wall' James Welles was to have been born (according to his headstone in Norwalk, Huron Co., Ohio, USA). The first actual proof of James I can find is his marriage to Persis EARLE in Windsor Co., Vermont, USA in Dec 1810.

After finding this record in Ryarsh, I have scoured all emigration records to Canada and America I can find for the timeframe 1792-1810 ... no James or Nicholas with right age is found.

I was hoping someone might be able to help me with the WELLES/WELLS family who lived in Ryarsh in the mid- to late-1700s. Nicholas' father 'appears' it might be James WELLES according to the same Ryarsh Parish records.

Any help would be appreciated.
