The file was about an inch thick but no where in the file did it say which Bell Carrie Brown married. And did you notice on the post it seems CARRIE'S DAUGHTER married a Bell also--with no mention of her husband either. Very frustrating!!! Brenda McCurley White
In re: Bell persons mentioned in the above Digest. Can you identify any furthur? One of my grandmothers of about this time period, was a Catherine Bell.

A brother of the same family, Samuel Bell (married Fenner) lived in Ft. Adams and operated a hotel. He died before the 1860 census. I seem to remember that someone had determined no connection between the Wilkinson Brown family and the one in East Feliciana Parish.

. Judy and I work the same shift at the FHC and she is always willing to drop everything and help me decipher some of the names and weird words in these old records. She even looks up legal words at home and e-mails them to me. Helps a lot. Just wanted you to know, I am not doing this all alone. I do have a pair of 'back up' eyes. Virginia
