"William Wells of Southold and his Descendants", 1878, by Charles Wells Hayes, lists on 7 children of William-1 Wells on page 33, and perhaps an eighth child, named Anne, wife of John Goldsmith. None of the eight are named Deborah.
A real estate deed is later found that states Mary Mapes, the widow of William Wells, was transferring some land to her daughter Anne Goldsmyth, wife of John Goldsmythe, confirming that relationship - giving eight known children.
"New England Marriages Prior to 1700" by Clarence Almon Torrey, shows the wife of Gershom Terry to be Deborah Wells, 1662-1729. The age indicates this Deborah is of the second or possibly third generation and a daughter (or grandaughter) of William-1 Wells of Southold (unless she perhaps comes from a different part of New England than Suffolk County, NY)
In recent years, the sources of Torrey have been published, as well as Wells DNA procedures, but this researcher has not had privy to them to support whether the wife of Gershom Terry was a daughter of William Wells.
