I have had some interesting interchanges with a descendant of the BELLs in Wayne County, NORTH CAROLINA, and have a question that I'm hoping someone can answer. There is in Wayne County, KENTUCKY, a Joseph Bell/Nancy Davenport line. Joseph was b. ca. 1745 in VA, however I do not have the county. Was it Rockingham? Is there anyone who has more information on where Joseph was born, lived and died? I have that he died ca. 1815, but no location or documentation. The reason I am asking this is because the Wayne County, NORTH CAROLINA, researcher informs me that he is descended from William Bell Sr. of Wayne County, North Carolina, b. ca. 1720 to William Bell & Mary McGowan of Augusta County, Virginia. William (the son) had a son Lindsey Bell who was mentioned in his will. Francis & William Bell of Otter Creek in Wayne County, KENTUCKY, were sons of Lindsey Bell b. 1739 found in Randolph County, NORTH CAROLINA, in the 1790 Federal Population Census. We believe there must be a connection between the two families, as Lindsey is not a typical given name among the BELLs. Backing up to William Bell of Augusta Co, VA, he was born ca. 1685 in Scotland or Ireland and died at Fort Defiance, Augusta Co, VA, in 1757. He is buried at the Augusta Stone Church (Presbyterian) Cemetery next to his wife. William and Mary had the following children: ....... 2 Joseph BELL b: Abt. 1718 ........... +Elizabeth HENDERSON ....... 2 William BELL b: Abt. 1720 ....... 2 David BELL b: Abt. 1722 ........... +Florence HENDERSON ....... 2 Samuel BELL b: Abt. 1724 ....... 2 Mary BELL b: Abt. 1726 ....... 2 Martha BELL b: Abt. 1743 What has caught my attention is the existence of the following headstone in the Augusta Stone Church Cemetery: Bell, Joseph b 17 May 1746 - d 13 Sep 1833 Since I am not extremely familiar with Joseph Bell/Nancy Davenport whose children came into Wayne County, KY, I was wondering if there was a possibility this might be the same person. Descendants of William Bell and Mary McGowan did come into various parts of Kentucky, and we did have McGowans of our own in Wayne County, Kentucky, very early. Too, the names of William's sons, namely Joseph and David, are significant in that Joseph Bell/Nancy Davenport had a son named David. It has long been my suspicion that the Virgina Bells and North Carolina Bells in Wayne County, KY, might be in some way related. Could it be that William Bell and Mary McGowan might be the common ancestor? I would dearly love to hear some discussion on this subject regarding what is known and documented.

Hello, I was just going through some new info I had just recieved. I hadnt had a chance to go over it and transcribe it ..... BUT For anyone who needs these dates- they are; Miles Gregory died- April 25, 1895 Polly Gregory died- April 30, 1885 PATTI

Hello, I have been working on the loose some ends in my trees. I was wondering if anyone has the burial place of Mary " Polly" Bell ( ca 1812-d. ca 1880-1892) and Miles Gregory ( ca 1812-ca 1895). I believe it is may be a good possibility they were buried in the Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery, but I can't confirm that. Thanks Patti

Hello, Friends, In May I made a trip to Salt Lake City and was doing some Wayne County research. While there I nosed around in a book about Pleasant HIll Baptist Church, in Sunnybrook.

Hello List, I've had a request from Harlan Ogle and passing it along to you. Put on your thinking caps folks and send your replys to me. I'll see that he receives your information. As always.....Thank You for your assistance!! Marilyn Fisher, CC Wayne Co KYGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~kywayne/wayne.html <http://www.rootsweb.com/~kywayne/wayne.html> Subject: Wayne County Musicians Marilyn: I have been asked by Dr. William Lynwood Montell of Western Kentucky University to write a chapter in a book he is publishing that deals with musicians in the Upper Cumberland area. My chapter will "focus on musicians and singers in the days before radio and TV, and then move along to radio and TV country and bluegrass music groups and individuals that performed during those years. The focus should also include individuals and groups that are currently active, including what many people these days refer to as contemporary country music....it would be appropriate to include information about rock and roll and rap groups that performed, perhaps still do" in Wayne County. "While country and bluegrass groups sing gospel songs, and do a fine job, let's not include local gospel groups that typically sing only at church events." (Dr. Montell's words.) Could you provide me with any information that would help in the effort? Check out my website. It contains some W/C-Monticello "stuff."

Hello, My Name is Oma and I am searching for any information on my Grandparents. My Grandfather was Jesse Britt,b.Aug.20,1901, my Grandmother was Emma Jones Britt and she was born abt.1907. At one time they were in Warren Co.,a town called Alvaton. At the time of my Grandfather's death, he was living in the Wayne Co. area. He had spent many years living in Monticello.After the death of my Grandmother in abt.1931, he later married a woman named Cora who was killed in an auto accident right outside of Somerset. Then he married a lady named Molly. I know this is a long shot, but I am hoping that someone will read this and maybe recoginize something. I know there were children other than my mother,Dessa. Her sister was Vassy.There were step sisters named Mary and I think Betty and there was a brother named Fred Ray. I would appreciate any help. Thank you, Oma
