They are from My Mikel Line which Connects to my Moore Line with my husbands mother Clara F. Mikel Moore. Nancy Moore >> Thanks for writing, Nancy. I have never been able to connect with any of the Wayne County Bells. It's funny that my grandfather Carigan came from Wayne County to Casey County, where he married Gertrude May Bell Cundiff, and his mother-in-law was Josephine Bell. I am related to many of the other earliest surnames in Wayne County, however. Best Regards Jim Carigan
