| Notes for Oliver Perry Wells |
Most of my information on the family of Oliver Perry Wells is from Sheryl Warren, 4099 Sharon Park Lane, Sharonville, OH 45241. Her sources include an index to Menifee Co. KY marriages, the family bible of her grandfather, and something she noted as "Menifee Cemeteries" (I don't know if this is a book or if she is referring to a personal cemetery visit.)
Oliver Perry Wells was a volunteer from Ky in the Mexican-American War. He enlisted at Owingsville, went to New Orleans, LA, and from there to Veracruz, Mexico on the ship Palestine. In Sep 1847 after the battle for Mexico City, he returned to New Orleans in April 1848 before his marriage to Elizabeth Downing. |
