WILLIAM T. WELLS, a farmer of Stampers Creek Township, was born in Orleans
Township, Orange County, Ind., February 1, 1831.  His parents, Abraham and
Lucy (True) Wells, were natives of Jessamine County, Ky., whence they came
to Indiana in 1829.  William T. was one of a family of nine children, and
when very young was compelled to work hard.  His education was
consequently limited, being acquired in primitive schools of his day.  At
the age of nine years he plowed ten acres in four and a half days, which
was a full man's work.  Farming has been his life's vocation, and he has
made a success of it.  He now owns 200 acres of land, and devotes most of
his attention to stock-raising.  His marriage with Sarah E. True was
solemnized, and to this union four children have been born:  William A.,
George B., McC. and John A., now living.  Mr. Wells and wife are members
of the Missionary Baptist Church, and he is a member of the Subordinate
Lodge of Odd Fellows at Hardinsburg.  He is a zealous Democrat in
politics, and usually takes a lively interest in the public affairs of his
community, and at one time ws prominently talked of as Township Trustee.
