My name is Connie Karle nee Wells. Genealogy is my hobby. I discovered the wonders of delving into the past in July 2001. It has been an exciting year filled with many names and places. I have met many new cousins and discovered amazing bits of information. If you are one of those yet undiscovered cousins, please send me an email.
Families researching: Ellis, Gann, Gillmore, Hogshead, Jones, Kelly, Roberts, Wells, White

My grandfather, Oscar Jesse Lee Wells, did not like having such a long name, so he shortened to O.L. Wells. When they moved to Oklahoma, he spent all day handpainting his name on the mailbox. He was very meticulous and everything had to be done just right.
After he was finished, he stood back and admired his handiwork. There on the silver mailbox were bright white letters: O L WELLS
The next day when he went to get his mail, the school children had made a slight adjustment to his name. His mailbox now read: OIL WELLS.

Where was William Riley Jones from? I have Jones in my family from North Carolina, Arkansas and Oklahoma. The names William and Riley are frequently used in this family.
