Thanks Ira: I think the 5th or the 6th JOHN BELL is the one I am looking for ? are you sure they are not the same one? #5 John Bell's b.1820 father is GEORGE #5 BELL & #6 m.1849 JOHN BELL's father is GEORGE WASHINGTON BELL as per born & marrage dates they COULD be the same JOHN BELL? ELISA ANN LINDSEY b.may 2 1838 m. >#1 ELI OUTLAW one child Eli outlaw she then married her " bro. in law" #2 JOHN BELL Their Children were CHARLEY LEE,WILLIAM LINDSEY,MADELLA ,JOHN WHITTEN, JUSTIS COALMAN,JORDAN MOORE,AND SALLY ONIE BELL > they were raised in the danville and stewart area I am told. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Probly #6 John BELL fits the best with ELIZA ANN's birth date but I still cant see how MARY GILL fits in as her sister in law (she would have to be ELI OUTLAW's sister would'nt she? ) have you ever heard of any of her children listed above? The SALLY BELL you mentioned is to old to be sally onie above: I did not know about your wife. I hope she gets better! we will try to go later if it can be arranged.keep in touch .gabbie - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- At 12:40 AM 3/4/2000 EST, you wrote: >Gabbie didn't you ask me about John Bell of Houston County?
