Wellman in Dorset, England
Melanie Major 5/11/03
My branch of the Wellman family settled in Hastings County, Ontario in the 1790's and early 1800's, in Rawdon Township.We hailed from Somerset, England.My father visited Somerset, found the church,and saw the family records while he was stationed in England during WWII. (He never told me the name of the town or village.)
I have learned recently that another branch of the family from Dorset settled in the same county (Hastings),but in different township in the 1850's.One of two brothers was named George.A family history pamphlet is housed in the Belleville, Ontario Public Library reference section.
Hope that this information is of interest.
