Deacon Wells

According to the records of the Presbyterian Church of Southold, he was a Deacon there for more than 20 years. (Yvonne Florance)

Suggested edit: According to William Wells of Southold by Charles Wells Hayes, on page 271,
"Fregift. This curious name, spelled with one e in all old records, and on his tombstone, was bestowed on the sixth son of Joshua I by his mother "because he was the youngest". Not only of her six sons but of her fourteen children."
I thought this was particularly interesting and worth noting,. Bette
