The Tennessee census for 1800 & 1810 were lost. I haven't found Walter BELLAH Sr on any census, but did find him on: 1796 Greene County, Tennessee Tax List: List of Taxables in Capt. Samuel Gragg's Company for 1796: Walter Bellah, 150 acres, 2 White Polls When Walter bought land in Greene County, TN in 1797, the deed was witnessed by Samuel & Moses Bellah.

[what a surprise!!!!!] Peggy, where was Walter SR in 1790 census? He is not listed anywhere in NC and TN wasn't in existence yet.. There is a Samuel [another surprise!! ha] and a Moses [of course!!!!!] in Rowan Co., NC, but I can't see a Walter ANYWHERE in NC or anywhere else close to NC... I can't find him in 1800 census either.... here's an idea... how do we know that Walter's middle name wasn't Samuel or Moses or WALTER was his middle name?? Walter SR BELLAH. Born in 1759 in Rowan Co., NC. Walter SR died in 1812 in Smith County, TN. Walter SR married UNKNOWN. They had the following children: 2 i. Moses [1] (1780-1839) ii. James. James died in 1827 in Lawrence Co, AR. Bef 1817 James first married Mary ALLEN. Mary died in 1818 in A Storm On The Way From Tennessee To Arkansas. Daughter, Nancy, Was Just A Baby. Aft 1818 James second married Eleanor HUDSON, in Lawrence Co, AR. iii. Judge Walter Jr. This is the Judge Walter BELLAH who was the Judge in Oregon County, MO iv. Mary [Lydia?]. Thanks for any help!

Hi Peggy and Lanita, I'm just being nosey again! So far as I know, I'm not related to your Bellah family, but every time I read about Walter Bellah I get curious. I am almost positive there used to be a chiropractor here in Pueblo, Colorado whose name was Walter Bellah. FWIW. Ancestry has updated their census information so I thought I would try it. You are so thorough, you probably already know about this person, but I'll ask anyway. Have you seen a Moses Buller in Guilford County, NC in 1790, 2, 1, 4, _, _, 7 ? There is a Cannaday on the same page.
