Just found your post.
I guess we are related as John LC Wells and Adeline Mariah Strait Wells were my great great grandparents. Their son George Wiley was my great grandfather and was a brother to your grandmother Lillie.
George WIley and Evie Cupit Wiley's son, Johnnie Eli Wells was my grandfather (so he would have been a first cousin to your Wells-line parent?) If that is correct,
then you and my dad are second cousins. I live in Dothan. Small world.
