Genevieve Williams Buckaloo ginger 36@msn.com Interested in Nacogdoches families as follows: Bell, Rector, Scroggins and Buckaloo >> Dear Genevieve, I'm responding to the surname BELL that you are researching. I have a Catherine Elizabeth KOLB b. c1863 Germany who had a son out of wedlock, William C. KOLB b 1885 Nacogdoches. She subsequently married a ____(possibly John) BELL in Nacogdoches between 1885 and 1900. She had three children by BELL, one a Tom BELL of Traywick. I don't know the other two children's names. In 1900, Catherine Elizabeth KOLB BELL was committed to the Terrell State Hospital in Terrell, Kaufman County, Texas. She had three minor children at the time. Catherine died at the hospital in 1947, apparently never leaving. The only family contact listed on her hospital records was a J.H. SEELBACH of Garrison, Texas (her brother-in-law who married her sister, Clarrissa Ann KOLB). I have much information on the KOLBs and SEELBACHs, but none on BELL and was wondering if these BELL names were familiar to you. Regards, Debra
