One of my grandmothers of about this time period, was a Catherine Bell. A much earlier family (William and Esther Curtis Bell) lived in East Feliciana, and one of their daughters was married to Reddin Brown. 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 really don't know which Bell--sorry. 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
