I got excited and messed up the dates of S.T.'s children. My source is S.T. and Mary Francis' Bible. Steven Thomas Bell, b: 11/14/1845, d: 8/12/1909 Mary Francis( Fannie) Threlkeld, b: 8/19/1852, d: 2/19/1925 Children Charles A. Bell, b: 3/11/1873 Sarah E. Bell, b: 1/15/1876 Eldridge Perryman Bell, b: 1/12/1877, d: 1/13/1884 James Henry Bell, b: 12/13/1881 Mary Ella Bell, b: 2/8/1886, d: 9/17/1887 Rab Leon Bell, b: 5/18/1887, d: 3/4/1953 Floy E. Bell, b: 8/9/1893 Thanks for the info that Lydia was Eldridge's mom and Bethenia and Andrew were his sister and brother. I did not know that for sure but wondered when I saw the Gibson Cty. 1850 census. I live in Corpus Christi, Tx and as soon as I have time I will go to Hamilton, Bosque and Titus Cty, Texas and see if I can find anything. I also plan to go to Tennessee. In addition to Bell and Grissom I will add Stubblefield and Bridges to my search. I have only been doing this a couple of months and I am just floundering around. I guess my next step will be to learn how to organize and research. Thanks again for the correspondence. Best Wishes, Pat
