WeHeS Family

As surname Welles is taken from
the name of place; for in many
places, and in many languages, springs
or wells gave their names to places.
The same name is known in several
languages--in French as Du Puy or
Dupuis and De la Fontaine, in Dutch
as Wander der Put, and In Italian as
Pozzi. The name was also Latinized
as De Fontibus. People living near a
well that had no particular name were
sometimes called Ate Welle, or De la
Well, and these names were later
shortened into Welles.
The Welles family in this country is
doubtless Of Norman origin, and In the
country whence 1t came originally 1t
was known as "de Welles." 1t is said
that In the eleventh century William
the Norman Conqueror gave to one Of
his knights, Richardus, the manor Of
Welles and made him Baron or Lord
Welles. In return for this favor Lord
Welles was to see that the kings
household was supplied with bread.

The family In America was estab-
lished by branch of this noble fam
lily Of barons of the realm. And 1t Is
a strange story that tells of the COM
ing to the new world of the first man
of the name.
Thomas Welles was the owner and
proprietor Of large hotel in London,
which was much frequented by the
nobility. He also owned shipyards,
and one day at dinner he let fall some
ideas about his religious beliefs. His
shipyards were confiscated by the
crown, and word reached him that he
was suspected of non-conformity by
the court Of high commission.
This was in 1929, and Thomas and
his family realized that no time could
be lost Aided and urged by his son,
also named Thomas, the elder Welles
put to sea in either the George Bona
venture, the Lions Whelp, or the Tai
bot. Welles thought he was safe as
soon as he boarded the vessel. but be-
fore sailing time men came to search
for him. He was quickly hidden in a
big, empty water cask. and he stayed
there until the vessel put to sea.
Thomas Welles landed at what is
now Salem, Mass, and soon afterward
his family joined him. He had FIVE
sons, Thomas, mentioned above. Hugh,
Nathaniel. Joseph and Edward. All
but the latter settled first in Rhode Is
land, and bought tract Of land Of
over 400 acres of the Narragansett In
dams n the wilderness of Wellstown.
Thomas, Hugh and John returned to
Massachusetts, in 1886, and later
helped found Hartford. Connecticut.
Gideon Welles, who was secretary of
the navy under Presidents Lincoln
and Johnson. was a descendant Of the
Thomas. and was fourth governor and

KEEP BABY'S SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es-
Unable lives have been embittered
and social and business success pre-
vented by serious skin affections
which so often result from the neglect
of minor eruptions in infancy and
childhood. With but little care and
the use Of the proper emollients, baby's
skin and hair may be preserved, puri-
fed and beauti1ed. minor eruptions
prevented from becoming chronic and
torturing, disflguring rashes, itchings,
ir:itations and chafings dispelled.
To this end, nothing is so pure, SO
sweet, SO speedily effective as the con-
slant use of Cuticura Soap, assisted,
when necessary, by Cuticura Ointment.

| he was admitted into the Gid Mer
chant In 1479 or 1880. when John Par
sons was mayor In the time OF Henry
VIII, the family was at Great Glen
near the city Of Leicester. John Hob
son died there in 1915, a devout Cath
ole, and we still have his will. By
Its terms he left bread to the poor cot
tagers. and legacies to the village
church Of Kilby and the Cathedral
church of Lincoln.
We do not know, however, Just what
relation the first settlers of the name
in this country bore to this branch OF
the family in England. At practically
the same time John Hobson or Hop.
son settled at Guilford, Conn, and
William Hobson settled at Rawley,
Mass. They were both from England,
and were probably related to each
other 1t is said that William was a
son of Henry of Usfete, Yorkshire.
He landed in Massachusetts In 1852.
and his three sons. Humphrey, John
and William, all born In this country,
founded substantial branch of the
family.
John Hobson, or Hopson. of Gull
ford, may have come first to Massa-
chussetts. Anyway, wherever he came
from, Massachusetts or England. he
reached Connecticut In 1860.
Two other Hobsons were officers in
the Revolution. Joseph, lieutenant,
and Nicholas, captain, both of Vir-
ginia. They were worthy representa-
tives of that section of the family in
the South from which Richmond Pear
son Hobson comes.
There are a good many coats-of-
arms borne by the different branches
of the family. but most of them bear
good deal Of resemblance to each
other. One of them is blazoned:
Argent. chevron engrailed azure
between four lozenges guiles. each
charged with cross or. Another ia:
Argent, chevron azure between three
hurts, chief of the second. The crest
is grifin's head couped, argent, be-
tween two wings elevated azure, and
the motto is "Fortitudine." This lat
ter coat-of-arms is the one illustrated.
The arms of the branch of the fam
lily that still goes by the name of
Hopson are somewhat similar: Ar
gent on a chevron azure between three
torteaux as many roses of the first,
chief countercomponee of the second
or. Crest: A stag lodged proper.
The Hobson family from Lincoln
shire, England, bears arms emblaz-
oned Sable, cinquefoil ermine, q

Belgium is, perhaps the most pros
porous state in Europe, as well as the
most thickly settled. The late kings
reign was at least marked by an enor-
nous advance in wealth and social re.
form. One of the country's special ad-
vantages is that its international neu-
tralization permits it to dispense with

For many years in England the
phrase "Hobson's Choice" has been a
by.word. In the very first part of the
seventeenth century there lived at
Cambridge man by the name OF
Thomas Hobson who kept a livery
stable. His customers. when they
came to hire carriage, were always
given the horse nearest the door,
whether they liked it or not. So Hob
sons choice came to signify that you
could take what you could get, or else
30 without; and perhaps this habit of
making everything accomplish its
share has helped the Hobsons to get
on in the world.
There have been Hobsons and Hop
sons In England almost forever. Hob

ert, and were probably used as regular
