The year that Jonathan Wells, Jr. (1684-1735), died, his wife, Mary Hoyt Wells, moved next door into the home of her father-in-law, Justice Jonathan Wells, Sr. (1659-1739). She brought with her an enslaved woman and a "Negro boy". The wearer of the "Negro womans cloathing" listed in Mary's husband's probate inventory was likely named Rebecca. In 1736, "Pompey Negro and Rebecca his wife" were admitted to membership in the church. Pompey was enslaved by Justice Wells.
