     Birth date of Thomas-1 WELLS: On the Coldham passenger list for the "Susan and Ellen," Thomas Wells is said to be aged 30. Interpreted literally (and assuming his age was reported correctly), Thomas' 30th birthday must have occurred by 09 May 1635, but not before 14 April 1635 (there is some ambiguity here because we do not know the exact date on which he reported his age to be 30). This places his birth between 15 April 1604 and 09 May 1605. A baptismal date for "Thomas Wells, the son of Thos. Wells, the 11th of December, 1605" was reported as being in "the Register of St. Botolph's, in Colchester" [co. Essex, England] in "Genealogy of the Wells Family and Families Related," by Gertrude W. Wells-Cushing (Mrs. William Tileston Cushing) [pub. 1903]. Mrs. Cushing also claimed that "St. Botolph's Register, page 53, Colchester, Essex, Co., England has the following marriage record: 'Thomas Wells of -----, single, and Abygall Warner of -----, single, the 23rd July, 1630.'" and adds "the parishes or places to which they belong are illegible." The baptismal date reported by Mrs. Cushing is not necessarily inconsistent with the date range extrapolated from the passenger list, as baptism did not always occur within days or weeks of birth.

There is a much more serious problem with Mrs. Cushing's statements, however There is, in fact, some controversy as to whether these St. Botolph's records actually exist or if they were fabrications. In a private email message of 18 June 1997 from Orin Wells of the Wells Family Research Association, he stated to me: "I would submit that there is not a shred of evidence to substantiate that Thomas was from Colchester. I did some 'on the ground' research in Colchester because Prof. Albert Welles in his work in 1876 claimed that not only did Thomas come from Colchester, but so did the alleged 6 brothers he listed in his book. Turns out that with the possible exception of Thomas and Nathaniel, not a one of them is related to the others. We now know for certain where two of the others came from and the third did not even exist. Someone invented a name for him when they could not explain the "Widow Frances Welles' in Wethersfield, CT. In fact, the searching of the Colchester records we have done so far has yielded precious few Wells and only one can be traced to the colonies. "Further, one author (whose name slips me at the time [he is referring to Mrs. Cushing, above]) wrote that the marriage of Thomas and Abigail Warner was shown in the parish record of St. Botolphs on 23 July 1630. FALSE I checked and had rechecked this parish record and the Bishop's Transcript for that parish and no such record occurred within 25 years of that. Deacon Thomas Wells was born on 11 December 1605 at Colchester, Essex, England. He was the son of Thomas Wells and (Unknown) (Unknown). Deacon Thomas Wells married Abigail Warner, daughter of William Warner and Abigail Baker, on 26 October 1630 at St. Botolphs, Colchester, Essex, England. Deacon Thomas Wells immigrated in 1635 to Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts; aboard the "Susan and Ellen." He left a will on 1 July 1666 at Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts.
