Dear Mary Laura: Thank you for writing. My Bell line comes from Chester Co. SC to Madison Co. AL to Maury Co. TN to Lewis Co. TN to Gibson Co. TN to Pulaski CO. AR to Lonoke Co. AR. My mother was b. in Lonoke Co. AR, as was I. In the Bell Family Bible there are Carters and Neelys listed that I knew nothing about until a few years ago. My grandfather Bell lived in Pine Bluff until he and my grandmother moved in with my parents in Brinkley AR where they lived until both died. The Bible is now in the possession of my cousin in Pine Bluff. [Since my grandfather was b. in Gibson Co. TN, I assume these early dates were from Gibson Co., but may not have been] Neely J. Carter was b. 1- J. A. Carter was b. 12-27-1859 T. J. Carter was b. 2 Mar 1857 There were a lot of Neely and Carter families in both Maury Co. TN and Madison Co. AL at the time my Bell men were there. This is what I can share with you. If you have more on the above mentioned individuals, I would appreciate knowing about it. Thanks, Eva Walker Myer
