Does this man have an impressive lineage or what? '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 18:54, 15 June 2008 (CDT)
 
==Sources conflict==
[http://www.stjohnshistoriccemetery.com/pensacolas_heritages/fishing.htm#t_e_welles Pensacola’s Heritage at St John’s Historic Cemetery] states that Welles "was employed by Captain T. C. Cobb of Cape Cod, Massachusetts ... Subsequently, he married Caroline Brown Cobb, Captain Cobb’s daughter".
 
Armstrong's [http://fulltext10.fcla.edu/cgi/t/text/pageviewer-idx?c=fhp;cc=fhp;xg=1;sid=d91b4bad39a5784b12f6f95a0798236d;q1=Armstrong;q=Armstrong;rgn=author;idno=WF00000021;a=51;view=jpg;node=WF00000021%3A20;seq=241;size=s ''History of Escambia County''] states "Mr. Welles was married June 24, 1882 to Carrie B. Cobb, a daughter of James and Caroline Burton Cobb, of Pensacola, Fla."
 
Pretty glaring conflict. At the moment I am leaning toward Armstrong's information, although I have noticed slight inaccuracies in his ''History of Escambia County'' before. His account of Welles' life seems much more detailed than the St. John's site.
 
Although, The St. John's site claims that the info is "according to [Welles'] grandson, Bill Langford"...
 
Whatcha think? '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 19:28, 15 June 2008 (CDT)
