Patrick, Good catch, I really don't know the answer to your question. This info was copied from R.T.Martin's history of the family. He was a member of the family and some of the descendants were still alive at the time he wrote this in 1910, so he may be referring to her by the name she was commonly known as. It must have been confusing with all the Elizabeths running around.

Kevin, I was reading your June 2nd posting of Bell data and had a question. You stated: "William Bell Jr. married a second time to the widow of Aaron Smith. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Poole, daughter of Joseph Poole......" Later you mention, "To William Bell Jr. and Mildred Poole.." Was Elizabeth also know as Mildred? I'm obtaining some info from Muhlenberg County, KY Heritage Vol #1 Dec 1978 to Vol #6 Dec 1984. Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to check for you.
