Isaacs, Lucinda Fulton, Educational Work, page 41
James Fulton married Priscilla Wells (1816-1902). The Wellses came from Wales to Pennsylvania, thence to Virginia. Charles Franklin Wells was born in Virginia, 1783. He married Elizabeth Kuykendall, who was of Holland descent on her father's side. Her mother was a Dean, a native of Denmark. This Charles Wells, the maternal grandfather of Lucie Fulton Isaacs, was an outstanding figure�a land-surveyor, a member of the Kentucky militia in the battle of Tippecanoe, and a man of fearless courage. He was outspoken in his objection to slavery and after freeing his own slaves moved to Indiana to avoid it. He also dared believe in the education of his daughters as well as of his sons, although the elders of the church remonstrated with him, declaring that "educated girls did not make good wives." With such an ancestry Mrs. Isaacs could not well keep from being progressive in mind, in methods, and in measures of advancement.
