We did look into a few resources on Oneida County and the following is what we found: Our County and Its People, a Descritive work on Oneida County, Edited by Daniel E. Wager 1896 part I page 608-609 "Capt. Phineas Bell another Revolutionary veteran, and one of those who suffered in the Sugar House prison on Long Island, became a settler. He died May 13, 1845." Part III page 281 Family Sketches " Bell, Henry Dwight, was born in Westmoreland, NY., September 4, 1840, son of John Morris and Sarah Bell. John Morris Bell was the son of Phineas Bell, a soldier in the American Revolution; and Sarah Bell was the daughter of Anson Smith of Walesville, NY. Henry D. was educated at the district school, and at the Whitestown Seminary. He then engaged in farming at which he always continued. In Politiecs he is a Democrat. Mr. Bell married Helen Rogers of Whitestown, by whom he has three children Louis W., Edna and Grace." There is another account in the Annals and Recollecitons of Oneida County, by Pomroy Jones 1851. Pages 771-776 give the account of the Sugar House Prison and mentions Captain Phineas Bell. On page 776 it has the following inscription that is from his monument erected in his memory in the cemetery near Lairdsville. "Phineas Bell, A Patriot of the Revolution, Died May 13th 1845, Aged 84 years. He was one of the first to take up arms in defence of his country at the early age of 15 years, and served faithfully to the close of the perilous contest, has since been the recipient of the bounty of a grateful people, lived long to enjoy it, and died full of honors and of years."
