One James Wells, of Bourland's Regt, came to Texas before 1842. Notice that he served in Stiff's Minute Men. Maybe your James Wells of Denton Co. connects to this James Wells of the 1860 Denton Co TX cen.

WELLS, WILLS, James Wells, b-1820 NC; m-Susan; 1842 Stiff's Minute Men (Co G, Bourland's Regt)

Was Susan Wells' maiden name David?

Col. James Bourland's wife was Catherine Wells, so we are interested in any Wells, Wills, Well, Will family who came to North Texas. Admittedly, I have not researched Catherine Wells' family in years, but at that time, that family's Wells' leads led me to nothing.

Please make sure your findings are posted or ... send them to me.
