The father married Mary Lyons and the son married Elizabeth. I do not know how you are related, but I might have some interesting stuff for you. The son, Samuel was a shoemaker with his son John, and I have copies of two original bills of sale that I got from Meigs County. Also, I have a copy of the Civil War discharge records of Samuel and his son Charles L. from a book in the records office. My 2nd great grandfather, George W. Bell has to somehow be related, but I cannot find the connection. Wondering if you might have any information? How many Bells could there be in Racine, Ohio in the early-mid 1800s? I can only find 3 families. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
