Sylvia: Do you mean that you believe William I. Wells is the same person as William J. Wells? William I. will is probated June 3, 1872. I am thinking they are different people. A William J. Wells is alive for the 1875 census for Athens. Census of 1875 - Athens Number Last name First name Age Sex Marital Status Race Relationship Birthplace Occupation NAT/Alien Commen 055b Wells William J. 54 Greene Laborer Caroline 43 Wife Greene 055 Syrles (Searles) Libbie 21 S Sister Greene What throws me is that William I. has a son named Christopher and William J. has a son named Christopher. A William J. was m. to a Eleanor Clough and a Caroline Brown. Janice >> Janice, given the marriage info for 1874, census data giving age, I am pretty sure this is the same guy.
