I am looking for any info on Alexander Thomas Wells, born 12/23/1882 in New York to Alexander William Wells born 8/8/1856 in NYC and Anna Marie (or Maria) Woodburn born 1860 in Dublin, Ireland. Alex Thomas married Jeanette Thomas, born 1880 in New Jersey. They are the parents of Eva Marie Wells, born 4/6/1891 in NYC. She married Walter Samuel Bayless, born 11/20/1879 in Waynesville, Ill to Francis Bayless, born in 1848, and Margaret Riley born in 1850.
Alex Thomas started in NYC making Curtains, possibly costumes for Vaudeville, but eventually made his way west to Oregon, where my maternal grandmother, Eva Madeline Bayless Norris was born (Portland) 4/7/1915.
Any info would be appreciated on either Alex Sr. or Jr.
Thanks,
Lynda Ball
