Misc. Notes
He is listed as born in May 1928, based on 1930 census. But the John Wells listed with his widowed mother in 1940 was only reported as 5 yrs old? The record is faint, hard to read and incomplete, also listing her as 46 rather than 52; so the information may have been given by a neighbor, etc.
