Delemar S. or B. Wells

Delamar Wells born 1826 in Hunting Quarters, Cartaret Co., NC - marriage bond to Susan Jane Gilliken on 1/24/1867 Carteret Co., NC Child: Bryant Wesley Wells born Dec 1870 married Candace Salter who was born Jan 3, 1874.

[note:This line has somewhat confusing because of mutiple marriages. As far as I can tell at the present, there was only 1 Delemar in NC until 1875 when his first descendant, his son was named for him. Then, there were more that followed. Our Delemar married twice that I found listed in the marriage bonds index and once more according to LDS records. This marriage was to Kizzie Goulding (which I haven't been able to find actual marriage record) and would be his 3rd marriage if it occured. [see below:Kizzie Wells 1920 & 1900 Soundex]] With future research, such as will or estate papers for Delemar and John Wells, maybe we can get a better picture. There is so much more left to do.
