Civil War LettersClark Family, Calhoun Co., Mich.

This genealogy of Wm O Wells' mother's family is assembled from the Clark Family Bible as maintained by Martha B Clark and the Civil War letters of Wm O. Wells. These documents have been passed down through the generations, Martha Wells & Wm O Wells to Lena Wait to Hazel Wait to me. The bible is in very bad shape, a large number of the letters are missing and all are old. Therefore I have decided to preserve on electronic media this bit of history for my family and anyone else who may be interested. Scanned images of the documents are included. I start the Clark generations at "three" to keep them in sync with the Wells generations. I am of the 8th generation. Martha B Clark Wells is my great-great-grandmother.
