This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/iQB.2ACE/688 Message Board Post: I am researching GEORGE BELL, born 4 June 1762 in New Castle. Married Sarah Amazeen 8 Feb 1784. Died 29 Dec 1848. I am specifically interested in who his children were (hoping to find daughters by the names of Mary A. and Nancy), and who his parents were. If anyone knows of any other GEORGE BELL from this area and time frame who had a daughter named MARY A. BELL (married to Esaias PREBLE), please let me know. I appreciate any time and help you can provide!

The particular George BELL you are seeking is my 4th great-grandfather (through his first marriage to Sarah AMAZEEN). Yes, his daughter Mary (b. 24 Dec 1789 at New Castle, NH; d. 16 Jul 1866 at Boston, MA) did marry Esaias PREBLE (b. 16 Dec 1776 in York, ME; d. 26 Feb 1856 at Boston, MA) I have no present knowledge of a daughter named "Nancy", but George did have a daughter "Elizabeth N. BELL", and the "N" could perhaps stand for "Nancy". Elizabeth was born 9 Aug 1788 at Newcastle and died 19 Aug 1844 at the same place. She married 31 July 1815 in New Castle to Rufus PREBLE (b. 4 Mar 1790 in York, ME). The couple had three children that I know about: Elizabeth, Rufus Jr., and Joseph R. The parents of George BELL were Meshach BELL, Jr. (died between Oct 1788 and June 1790 at New Castle) and "Mary" [maiden name unknown] who died in Nov 1797 at New Castle, NH. I will be happy to send you personally [not via the list] a GEDCOM file of the information I have on this family (with sources and notes). Most computer genealogy programs will allow you to import or "read" such a file easily. [If for some reason you cannot, let me know, and I can send you paper copies via snail-mail as well]. Are you primarily interested in the PREBLE or BELL families? Because George is my direct ancestor, I have some further information on the BELL and AMAZEEN ancestry as well. ~ Carolyn Dep [[email protected]] ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 03, 2005 10:52 AM Subject: [NHROCKIN] GEORGE BELL, New Castle, Rockingham, New Hampshire > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/iQB.2ACE/688 > > Message Board Post: > > I am researching GEORGE BELL, born 4 June 1762 in New Castle.
