(signed) NATHAN WELLS SOPHIA WELLS Recorded 22 Sep 1801 Bullitt Co. KY Court Nathan WELLS m. Sophia DULEY 12/15 Nov 1798 Prince Georges Co. MD I am wondering if there is any chance that Sophia DULEY is related to Jacob and George DOOLEY/DOOLIN of Bullitt Co.? I think NATHAN WELLS had a son, RICHARD WELLS but have not been able to confirm it for certain - here is the estate sale at his death Many of the items here were hard to make out - difficult writing and not the best film quality...

KY Court RICHARD WELLS widow, SARAH/SALLY WELLS soon marries OLIVER FRENCH - don't know anything about him. Elizabeth DOOLIN had married RICHARD WELLS (undoubtedly some relation to the one above) 16 June 1832 so that could be the reason the DOOLINS are with the WELLS type families but it is interesting that the Richard WELLS above may have had a DOLLIN/DULIN mother, yes?
