Polly Bell Wells

She was living with her parents in 1910, so you can find that census record here.
She married the brother of Andrew Joseph Taylor (Willie Lee's husband).  Even though I know that information, I still can't find much of anything about their lives together.  Here is what I do know...

Polly Bell Wells was born on 17 Nov 1903 in Mississippi, USA as the fourth child of Joseph Quince Wells and Delanie Upchurch. She had four siblings, namely: Bettie Ann, Bertrum Lester, Willie Lou, and Bessie. She died on 01 Oct 1986 in San Diego, California, USA.

She lived in Beat 4, Oktibbeha, Mississippi in 1910. She lived in Beat 4, Monroe, Mississippi in 1920. She lived in St Louis, St Louis (Independent City), Missouri in 1930. She lived in San Diego, San Diego, California, United States on 01 Apr 1940. 

William Ely Taylor and Polly Bell Wells had the following children.  Again, I can't find much on any of these children.  I did find out a little bit about Lester Norwood Taylor.  I'll include his obituary under his name, but I've searched for his wife and son, and can't find anything.  I'm amazed that there aren't even any current family trees with these people in it.  In 1995, all of Lester siblings were still alive, so I can't believe I can't find anything.  I'm sure his sisters got married, so they wouldn't be under Taylor, but until I have a hint or clue as to what their last name may be now, I'm stuck:

1. Eugene Jefferson Taylor was born on 04 Mar 1919 in Mississippi, USA.
2. Lester Norwood Taylor was born on 04 Jan 1921 in Mississippi, USA.
