Harry entry 1272 is also listed as a wagon maker. The other two names are Meinor (???) Raynolds, 34, and John Smith, 18. I feel that they may have been in business together since they lived so close together.District No. 2 County of Agusta, of VA. the 23or 25 day of July 1850 signed David ? ..ernts At the top of the page are the numbers 46 top left and over state 599Greg Wellen has her name as Catherine Henry because the Harry family Bible had the listed Henry as the surname. I will continue to use Harry, but I am adding the name Catherine to the Betty I have in my files.

Fanny Francis GROVES , b. 1837; m. De Witt Clinton WELLEN ; b. May 20, 1844; d. May 02, 1930. Notes: 1850 Census In other census F. Francis Groves. I have connected her as De Witt Wellen's first wife. This has to be rechecked since she is seven years older and I have found no marriage records for them. I do not know where I got the information that connected them at this time. I would be skeptical of this entry. Notes for De Witt Clinton WELLEN:
Confederate- Battle of Gettysburg - May have carried Stonewall from battlefield when shot. Married Lu and Fanny Groves daughters of George Washington Groves. According to Vaden Grove, my uncle. I have a photograph of him and another gentelman. Confederate in some files, Union in others - Battle of Gettysburg - May have carried Stonewall from battlefield when shot. Married Lu and Fanny Groves (Fanny is the daughter of John Groves) daughters of George Washington Groves. According to Vaden Groves. Listed as Dewitt C. Wellen in the 1870 census. He was recorded in Willey Twp, Lewis Co., WV, page 408. Fought for the South during the Civil War.
Obit: (Hand written 1930 then:) " D. C. Wellen Dead- D. C. Wellen, Confederate veteran died in he soldier's home at Richmond, Virginia, May (the date is written over). He was 86 years of age, and had been failing in health for two or three years. Mr. Wellen formerly resided in Burnsville, and was at one time justice of the peace of Salt Lick district. "Daddy," as he was affectionately called, was widely known and highly regarded by the people of the Burnsville section, in which he spent many yeaars of his life. He was a brother of John Wellen, of Roanoke, Lewis county, and the stepfather of Mrs. W. A. Sleeth, of Burnsville. His body was laid to rest Monday in the soldiers' cemetery at Richmond." this clipping was found in the Bible of Thomas Martin Wellen.
