Another brick wall was this man. Due to county histories [“History of Brown County Ohio” (Chicago, W. H. Beers & Co. 1883)] I knew he was among three brothers from Maryland who came west to Ohio. His brothers were Joseph and Frank. Joseph married the sister of James's wife, Sarah Watson Clark.
But from where in Maryland was always the question. The clue at Ancestry.com was that this man's father was another James Wells by wife Sarah Tevis. He was the grandson of a Thomas Wells and Elizabeth Howard. James Wells Sr. was born in 1747 and died in 1801 at Bracken County, Kentucky. Again, a search of probate will give an answer to this question.
This should give Michael some colonial Maryland ancestry. Michael grew up in Maryland so it's nice that he roots going back 300 years there.
Michael has three ancestors of royal descent and possibly four. Anne (Skipwith) (Goforth) Oxley descends from Edward III in four lines from three of his sons; Matthew Clarkson of New York; and Thomas and Elinor Jarnagin of Virginia.

22. John Wesley Ridpath m. Nell Carmon
23. Doris Carmon Ridpath m. Edmund Berrigan Clark, nos. 24 above and thus cousins.
Michael's matrilineal line dies out in the midwest in six generations.
But his XY line is 14 generations long and winds up in France.
Much like the Mayflower of 1620, the first ship to New Amsterdam (New York City) was in 1624 and named de Eendracht. However, there were 102 souls on the Mayflower and 26 possible families from whom to descend. There were only 4 families on de Eendracht:
The only four families known to have arrived aboard either The Eendracht or The Nieuw Nederland in 1624 are these:
It just so happens that Michael descends from two of the four families in four lines of descent. Here they are:

Today is my father-in-law's 100th birthday. Edmund Berrigan Clark March 1, 1921-March 27, 2003.
My favorite story about him is that he was in the fabled class of 1942 at U. Oklahoma. Of course, December 7, 1941 happened in his senior year and after that semester he enlisted. He never finished the last semester of his undergraduate degree. In 1945 with the war won and in the Pacific theater he heard about the GI Bill and on a blank envelope wrote to Harvard Law School to attend. They wrote back and based on his grades and the GI Bill he was accepted with the proviso that he finish his undergraduate degree. So he attended Harvard Law School from 1946 to 1949 and graduated with an LLB. He later took classes at American University and finished his undergraduate degree in 1952. So he got his law degree first and undergraduate degree second.
He made his career in the U.S. Justice department arguing cases at the appellate and supreme court levels.
