Karen, There is an excellent little book titled "Jackson County, Florida" published in 1999 as part of the Black America Series. The volume is filled with rare photographs of African Americans who played a significant role in the development of the county and includes some well-researched and well-written text. It is not indexed, but scanning through it I did see the Bell name mentioned numerous times. The volume is still in print and you can obtain it from Barnes and Noble and similar type booksellers. Here's a link to the listing at B & N by way of reference, but you can obtain it from your favorite bookstore: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&EAN=9780738500980&itm=1 Best, Dale Cox www.exploresouthernhistory.com www.battleofmarianna.net "Karen Peterson" <martykarenp@adelphia.net> wrote: >Hello, >I came across a reference to a book "The legacy of African Americans of >Jackson County, Florida".  Does anyone know anything about it?  If anyone >happens to have access to it, and surnames are mentioned in it, could they >look up the name BELL.  Thanks.  Karen > > >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to FLJACKSO-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
