Hi Ed, I sure wish we could show a connection between these Bell families but at present I don`t have anything that would do that. It sure looks like they could be related. Do you have an earlier Bell ancestor for these in Lonoke? For instance do you have one born about 1800 That is the birthdate of my James Flack Bell and he had 2 brothers, Wm and Andrew McKinley Bell. Thopugh I don`t seem to be able to place these with those bros. Thanks for your input. Sue
