Gov. Thomas Welles came to New England in 1635, settling in Hartford in 1636 and moving to Wethersfield in 1646. An entailed property case involving the sale of land in Old England connects both Gov. Thomas Welles and his wife Alice (Tomes) Welles to their origins and families in England. Volume 3, Part A, covers the sixth generation of their descendants through their daughters Mary (Welles) Baldwin, and Anne (Welles) (Thompson) Hawley, showing the seventh generation as children.
