Volume 3, Part B, republishes Donna Holt SiemiatkoskiÕs work on the sixth-generation descendants of Gov. Thomas and Alice (Tomes) Welles. It extracts this generationÕs treatment from her Research Papers previously published for the Welles Family Association in 1995, 1996, and 1997, using the status of the manuscripts in 2001. These extracts are published as a service to genealogical researchers, so that the records held by the Welles Family Association are more readily available. Numbering of individuals has been updated to synchronize with Volume 2.
Welles descendants were farmers, governors, senators, bishops, manufacturers, members of the French court, generals, sea captains, and other leaders in eighteenth and nineteenth century America. Family names found here include Wells, Welles, Bidwell, Curtiss, Hale, Hawley, Judson, Robbins, Shelton, Stoddard, Thompson, and Wolcott.
