From Orin R. Wells 12 Nov 1998, in Wells-L ARchives (Rootsweb forum):
"Charles Wells Sr. was a son of John Wells b: Cir 1675 and married Cir 1700, his wife is believed to have been the Margaret Wells who was administratrix of his estate. The identity of Margaret has never been proven and the belief that she may have been Margaret MacClain appears to be incorrect in that in depositions pertaining to the five children of Hector's two marriages do not list a Margaret."

Research Notes: Husband - Robert Kirk
I have found only marginal evidence for James Kirk as Robert Kirk's father, and even less evidence for Mary Agnes Edmiston as his mother. If Robert's father was James Kirk, the question is which one? There were two men named James Kirk, both from Ireland, who settled in Virginia around the same time. These two men gave one or more of their sons the same names. One James Kirk immigrated to Virginia in 1773. The other may have immigrated as early as 1749 (a land transaction, followed by mention of his name is other legal contexts). Since Robert (and his brothers) was born in Northern Ireland about 1756, it appears most likely that his father (if named James Kirk) was the one who immigrated to Virginia in 1773.
He could have been a different James Kirk altogether.

Research Notes: Husband - Lancelot Todd [Jr.]
From Founders of Anne Arundel and Howard Counties, p. 49:
Lancelot Todd, neighbor of Cornelius Howard, in his will of 1690, named "his kinsman Lancelot Todd."
The latter ["Lancelot, Jr."] married Elizabeth, daughter of Mary Rockhold. Their two daughters were Ruth [Todd] Dorsey, wife of Michael, and Sarah [Todd] Dorsey, wife of Edward.
As Lancelot, Jr., sold the surveys taken by Captain Thomas Todd at Annapolis, he must have been the heir of James Todd, an important man in the early days of Baltimore. See case in Chancery, wherein Daniel Dulany, attorney-general for the Proprietary, enters suit against Edmund Jennings, who married the widow of Thos. Bordley, for the restoration of grant bought by Bordley and Larkins, from Lancelot Todd, representative of Thomas Todd, the surveyor. It is a very interesting review of the title to the site of Annapolis.
Research Notes: Wife - Elizabeth <Rockhold>
According to Founders of Anne Arundel and Howard Counties, she was the "daughter of Mary Rockhold." Rockhold was probably the surname of Mary's husband.

William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke (c. 1423-1469), known as "Black William", was the grandson of Dafydd Gam , an adherent of King Henry V of England .
Herbert supported the Yorkist faction during the Wars of the Roses , as had his father, William ap Thomas . Herbert was rewarded by King Edward IV with the title Lord Herbert of Raglan in 1461, having assumed an English-style surname in place of the Welsh patronymic .
