Notes
a. Note:   Birth date according to age at death of 72 years, 4 months, 8 days calculates out as November 12, 1831. Listed on the 1870 New Jersey Federal Census for Burlington County, Chester Twp., Page #40, line 11, age 40, occupation carpenter, with wife Rhoda age 38, and children Laura age 18, William age 11, and Eliza age 5. Living with them is Catherine Chamberlain age 22, occupation domestic servant, a possible relative of wife Rhoda (Chamberlin) Wells. This is not the Charles Wells, husband of Hannah Piper. This Charles Wells has been proved out by death records and DNA to be the son of William and Keziah Murfin Wells, with brother Mordecai Wells. This confusion is because there are two Charles Wells born about 1831 in Burlington County, NJ about the same time.
