The following is about a Mr William WELLS from the USA who married an INDIAN and was made a Justice of the Peace by A Territorial Governor "OHIO" (later to become the US president William Henry HARRISON)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Wells_%28soldier%29

It may be worth checking to see if any of his children were possibly named "William Henry Harrison WELLS"?

According to the website, Wm died in 1812 and William Henry Harrison WELLS was born c1830.

The children of William and Wanagapeth were Anne, wife of Dr. William Turner of Fort Wayne; Mary, who married James Wolcott; Rebecca, wife of James Hackley of Fort Wayne; Jane Turner, who married John H. Griggs, and William Wayne Wells, the grandson of Little Turtle who graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point. Poinsatte, 31

Certificates are needed.

If I have the right woman, she did not apparently use the Beatrice on the Electoral Rolls.

She is Frances DAVIS. She and George DAVIS in 1914 are at Wairama, Waikato
He is a station hand and she is married.

1919
The couple are at Onewhero Downs , Waikato.
Their occupations are the same
