16. | Francis Flournoy Wells (4.Martha2, 1.Mathews1) was born about 1800 in Virginia, USA; died in Nov 1866 in Jackson County, TX. Notes:
According to The Flournoy Family compiled by Flournoy Rivers, Esq. of Pulaski, Tennessee, after his parents death, "Frank" as he was known, was raised by an Uncle Mathews Flournoy, in Scott Co., Kentucky, and married Martha McNutt of Alexandria, Louisiana. Then about 1825 removed to Brazoria Co., Texas, then to Jackson Co., Texas about 1833, and died there in November 1866. He and Martha were the parents of five children.
"Frank" Flournoy was a descendant of the 'Blue Grass', Kentucky
Flournoys. His mother was the fifth child of Mathews Flournoy and his wife. This family were early settlers in Scott County, Kentucky, and many descendants migrated to Brazoria County and other counties throughout the state of Texas.
[Rowlettfile.FTW]
WELLS, FRANCIS F. (ca. 1800-1866).
Francis F. Wells, one of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred colonists, was born in Virginia about 1800. He moved to Texas from Louisiana and on July 21, 1824, received title to a league and a labor of land in present Brazoria and Jackson counties. The Mexican census of March 1826 listed him as a doctor, a married man with a wife (née Martha McNutt), and between sixteen and twenty-five. On November 14, 1829, the ayuntamiento of San Felipe de Austin granted him a license to practice medicine in Texas. In July 1830 the ayuntamiento also appointed Wells a member of the new board of medical examiners. In 1832 Wells and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Pamelia (Parmelia) McNutt Porter, founded the town of Texana in Jackson County.
Wells laid off the townsite into residential and business lots. On July 17, 1835 , Wells was present at the Lavaca-Navidad Meeting. In 1838 he was a participant at a political meeting that nominated Peter W. Grayson for president of the republic. Wells had one son, who later fought in the Confederate army and served as county clerk and judge. In 1851 Wells deeded a lot in Texana to be used by the local Methodist church. He died in Jackson County, and his will was filed for probate on December 10, 1866.
