Mary Wells Petersen, Philip Wells' neice and my grandmother told me that James Wells was killed by a group of Native Americans near Spirit Lake, Iowa. He was hunting with his sons. Before he was killed, he told them that his wife and children were Indian. My grandmother had his bighorn sheep antlers in her attic from one of James Wells's hunting trips (Montana?). I remember the antlers. I am not sure what happened to them after my Grandmother passed away. My uncle Ron Petersen owned my grandmother's home.

Philip Wells wrote about the Wells family in a North Dakota History book several decades ago. Zonya Franklin I do not know of any website.

Bully Wells had a trading post in what is noe Frontenac, MN and it now operates as a tavern or resturant. Maybe Donna Arrowood could write about the story of Thomas Graham and his men at Little Bighorn? I had heard the story of Philip at Wounded Knee , Donna's story is pretty accurate. It didn't know exactly how Bully died but her story seems to be what my ancestors told.

The Sioux were "required" to surrender all their weapons. I've been searching for over 8 months and have had no success. Can anyone help? Thanks, D.
