Ira: Thanks for the information on Dennis BELL. Nice to know who his parents were. Do you have any dates on him? All I have is the marriage date for he and Nancy. Have nothing on them from that time. Do you happen to have anything on the Sarah A. BELL & her siblings, Mary C. and John W. BELL? I can give you additional information on Sarah's descendants, but don't know much about Mary C. & John W., except that Mary married John Gwin HUDSON 23 Jan 1866 in Benton County, and John W. BELL married Mildred E. WEATHERLY 21 Sep 1879 in Benton County. They were supposedly orphans... But even orphans had parents at some time... any ideas? Thanks for the offer of information on the Bell family further back - I don't think I need that. I would like Dennis' siblings, though, if it isn't too much trouble. I have other BEASLEYS who married BELLS - Georgie Lee - a first cousin once removed, married Arzo M. BELL, and Georgie's brother Harrison Dewey "Dude" Beasley md a BELL also - don't have her given name. I know there must be a hugh number of BELLS not of your line, but did any of your BELL line go to Kentucky? There is a Nancy Naul BELL (18780 Nicholas Co, KY-1960 KY) who married Walter FLORENCE (1879-1944). I do have descendants of this BELL, and ancestors of Walter. Thanks again for the help on Dennis. Appreciate it. Jean << Dennis Bell is in my line, he is the son of George Bell b Halifax, NC 1795 d May 1843 Benton County, TN, and Bulsanna Jane Rushing b 1795 in unknown, d 1875 Benton County, NC They had 11 children including Dennis which was next to youngest. George Bell was the son of Lemuel Bell b 1760 Halifax County, NC d1824 Stewart County TN, m Zilpha Alsobrooks b 1766 Anson Co. NC d after 1830 Benton or Humphrey County, TN. That portion of Humphrey County on west side of Tennessee River became Benton County 1835/1836 that is where they live. I have this Bell line back 4 more Generations all male Head of Household were named George behind Lemuel, first George came to Isle of Wight VA in 1650, his wife Hester Webster came with him from Scotland Via England. Would appreciate any additional information you have on Dennis line. Do you need anymore on the Bell line? Ira >>
