Dear Pat,
In my data base I have a Lucy M. Wells born 2 Nov 1828, daughter of Deacon Elias Wells and Selinda Colt.If you think she is yours, her mother was the daughter of John Colt and Susannah Bulkley [the Bulkley family will give lots of interesting ancestors.That John Colt was the son of John and Mary (Lord) Colt and he in turn was the son of Benjamin and Miriam (Harris) Colt [more lovely research by Gale Ion Harris for you to read], and Benjamin being the son of John and Sarah (Lord) Colt, who was the son of the first comer, John Colt by his first wife, Anne Skinner.
This makes Lucy Wells indeed part of the Colt Revolver family.The bit about being disowned for marrying Hiram Cummings is intriguing.I'd be happy to help you search out more about this.
Regards,
Caroline Ruda
