re burial site of Francis Bell. There is a cemetery that is called "Old Liberty burial ground" where the old church was at one time. You may be talking about the present Liberty Methodist Church. In the old cemetery you will find Jane Bell, dau of Francis Bell, and her husband, Beverly Hudgins. I don't know if Francis Bell is there or not, but all the information I have indicates he is buried "Old Liberty Methodist Church Cemetery Hall Co Ga". The cemetery is located off Braselton/ Gainesville Highway. Coming from Gainesville you turn left at what was Masedonia Church, dead end and turn left again and the cemetery is on the right not too far down the road. There used to be a fence, but it is gone and it is grown over terrible. If you are not looking real good you will miss it. I was there in the summer and most of the toombstones are fallen down or gone completely. I did find my husbands great-grandfather's toombstone, Elijah Albright Veal. I went there 20 years ago and had a list of all the stones there, but that was 20 years ago and I don't know where it is now. Hope this helps Lorene Veal > o As for Francis Bell: Both sets of data state conclusively >that Francis Bell was/is "buried in the cemetery of Liberty Methodist >Church . . ."
