Wellman, Harry E. - Reuben Wellman, born in Vermont, served as a drummer in the War of 1812, married his wife
in Massachusetts, and came to Kendall about 1819, settling on a farm now owned by Mrs. Almeretta Root, but eventually
removed to Michigan, where he died. Of his eleven children, Cyrenus, born November 12, 1808, married October 13,
1836, Susan, daughter of James Weed, who survives him. He died November 16, 1882. Their children were: Irving E.,
born April 27, 1841; James K. P., born August 10, 1844, died January 18, 1879; Annis (Mrs. James Griswold), born
May 22, 1849, died May 8, 1883; and Lewis C., born January 16, 1861, who married in 1885, Flora B. Manley. Mr.

of Plymouth Rock, from whom the family are lineal descendants. Irving E. Wellman married Jane, daughter of Noah
Elwell, of Kendall, and has had three children, of whom only one, Harry E., is living. He has held several local
