I haven't found a Belle Doll, but my grandmother had an aunt named Bela Bowe, and I wondered if there were any available Dolls in Dickson Co. for her to have married? This Bela Bow was the dau of one Levi Bowe, by his first marriage, while he lived in Vermont. That wife never lived in TN, but her daughter Bela did, and died in 1858 in Dickson Co. She had brothers with names such as Ozeai, Erastius, and James. all of whom were born in Wells, Rutland Co. Vermont, but moved to Tennessee in the early 19th century. Levi was a cooper. He made barrells and grain scoops and hunting bows, and such. *************************************************************************** This is an automatically-generated notice.
