Peggy and/or other BELLAH researchers, I'm confused..... [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!
