Surnames: Bell Mathis Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ReB.2ACE/2775 Message Board Post: Anyone with Bell family connections that have any ideas about a Mathis/ Bell relationship please contact me. I have an old letter from Jesse Mathis, son of James who was a son of William T and Lydia Mathis, that states after death of James in AR 1848 that family returned to Gibson Co and they lived with Jimmy Bell who was related. Someone else posted a Bell/Mathis tie but I cannot find find it!
