  Dear Rod,
I just happened to find your page on Eli Bigelow, which mentions a Susanna Freeman marrying William Wells of Hanover, Ohio.  I am
researching William Wells for Hanover's Bicentennial, and have found nothing else so far, except that he was supposed to be from Glastonbury, CT, according to a local history.  Also, that he gave Ohio land to relatives named Chester Wells, Elisha Wells, and John Hollister.  Do you
have any further information on him?  The entry number on your page is 16313.18
Thank you very much.
