    1. Re: [Tngibson] Re: Bell Family

    3. Mema- I suspect that there was not a specific reason for the great number of people migrating from RU to Gibson Co. but that it was basically the overall migration westward. As one person or family moved they wrote back to friends and family and told them of land availability and other features that they liked. Then others followed etc. etc. My first Phillips/Philips moved there between 1860 & 1870 but my GG GF ( and one of his brothers)did not come until after 1870. No I am not aware of any Bell connection in TN although my dad's younger sister did marry a Bell here in TX, (Foard Co.). I do not know where they originated. I was just checking the Gibson forum and saw your mesages and I remember how others have helped me even when it wasn't their lines and just rying to repay a little. Good Luck------Rex

    3. The reason for the migration was that the area that became Gibson Co. was Indian Territory until ca. 1823 when the treaty was signed with Chickasaw Indians. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 26, 2004 12:08 PM Subject: Re: [Tngibson] Re: Bell Family > Mema- I suspect that there was not a specific reason for the great number of > people migrating from RU to Gibson Co. but that it was basically the overall > migration westward.
