Abigail Lindsey, daughter of John and Alce Lindsey, was born ca. 1735-1740. She married Dr. Humphrey Wells. Humphrey and Abigail Wells migrated to Georgia, where Humphrey died in Richmond County ca. 1781. Humphrey's will mentioned sons named Humphrey, George, Samuel, and Jesse, and a daughter named Sibella. In 1781, all of Humphrey and Abigail Lindsey Well's children were listed as minors. . . .
The birthdates of two of Humphrey and Abigail Lindsey Wells's children are known from St. Luke's Parish records in Maryland. Humphrey Wells Jr. was born in 1758, and John Wells was born in 1760. . . . John Wells was not mentioned in his father's will, so he may have died young.
Family information states that Humphrey and Abigail moved to Virginia about 1762, and that Humphrey Wells purchased land from John Lindsey. . . .
Abigail Lindsey Wells moved to Newberry County sometime after the death of her husband. She appeared on the 1800 and 1810 censuses in Newberry County. Abigail Wells wrote her will in Newberry County in 1813. Abigail's will mentioned her sons Samuel and George, and the children of a deceased daughter named Sibella, who had married Moses Lindsey (Moses was the son of James Lindsey). Sons Humphrey and Jesse Wells were not mentioned in Abigail's will, so they had probably predeceased their mother. Abigail Wells also mentioned a great-granddaughter, Rebecca Carter Wells, in her will. Abigail appointed her sister, Esther Smith, as an executor for her estate. . . .

(3) A household headed by Abigail WELLS is listed in the 1810 census of Newberry County, SC, next to a household headed by her son, Sam WELLS.
Listed in Abigail's household are 1 free white female under 10 years of age; 1 free white female between 10 and 16 years of age; and 1 free white female over 45 years of age.
Assuming that Abigail is the free white female listed in the 1810 census as then being over 45 years of age, she would have been born before 1765, according to the 1765 census.
