My gggrandfather was Eldridge P. Bell, b 1825 in NC and married in Tennessee around 1845 to Eleanor Grissom, b 1829 in Tennessee. They came to Texas sometime before 1870. They are shown on the 1870 Titus Cty, Texas Census with 3 kids, Thomas, Lease F. and Ella M. They moved to Hamilton Cty., Texas and are shown on the 1880 census. On the 1880 census they are shown with children Viney L. and Martha E and niece Sarah. By that time my ggrandfather, Steven Thomas Bell was married to Mary Francis Threlkeld in 1871 and lived in Hamilton Cty with children Charles b. 3/11/1873, Sarah E b. 1/15/1876 and E.P.b. 1879. My grandfather Rab Leon was born 5/18/1887 and moved back to Titus Cty where he met my grandmother Golda Tabb and married 12/29/07. In addition Steven Thomas had children James Bell b 2/8/1886, Mary E b 8/8/1886. I would appreciate any information you can share with me.
