I just found my T. Adeline Bell that married Richard Gardner about a month ago. According to the 1870 and 1880 Yalobusha Co. Census, it shows her born in Tennessee. I sorta think, she might be connected to the Bell Witch Family, but have not proved it. Her youngest son, Thomas Cross Gardner married Emma G. Bell in Panola Co. Ms in 1888. I live in Texas, was down in Ms. last month, but need to come back real soon. Found a gold mine in Coffeeville Court House, But run out of time to do very much research. I have sent for the death certificates of T. Adeline Bell Gardner and Emma G. Bell Gardner hoping for parents names. Sue
