- Letter from Julia R. King to Judge Sheppard at Colonel's Island on July 13, 1932. Copying inscriptions for him at the Roswell King lot in Midway Cemetery to prove that her aunt Mary Eliza King was the daughter of Roswell King &Julia Maxwell and that she married Dr. Charlton Henry Wells. Description of the Wells family history in New England and Georgia. She and brother Audley put up monuments to their family at Dorchester, although buried in Midway but never marked there except with wooden markers. Letter appears to be in response to a bequest left to make sure the King &Wells family plot at Midway was taken care of. Notes that she was appointed as Historian for Liberty County following an act of the General Assembly for all counties to have a history written. She is gathering books and materials, and many people have sent her things. Draws connection of name "Roswell" with "Rosewell". History of the Roswell King family.
