It hard to be certain because of the initials, but I believe that the
following 1880 Jefferson County, Tennessee census entry is for James B.
Wells and his wife Clarissa Catlett, daughter of Benjamin Catlett and Nancy
Loveday. The 1850 Blount County, Tennessee census entry for the family says
that James B. Wells was born in North Carolina, but this census entry could
well have his place of birth stated incorrecly.
