Does any know of a Bell County map that shows the early surveys. Williamson County has one that is very helpful. Does Bell Co. have one? Am trying to find out where William C. Dyches survey was and think it may have been in Bell Co. as well as in Williamson Co., Thanks. Jackie

Howdy List! For your info, there are 74 subscribers at present to the TXBELL list. If you've found any resources on the Bell County local pages, search engines, Texas resources, or national resources to be of particular help in searching for BELL COUNTY ONLY surnames or history, would you share that with the list? (There are scads of web sites that are helpful, but I'd like to know about ones that may have helped you with your Bell County-specific ancestors or history.) If there's some that really work well for a lot of people, I'll try to get them added to the different Bell County pages I webmaster. There are a lot of new features being put up on RootsWeb that may prove very helpful.. especially the newer search engine features for the county page. (I don't think it's idexed yet... a necessary step at RootsWeb before our county page search window will work!) If you have a "success story" please tell us the URL that you used, and how it helped you, so someone else may try it. Is there a web page for the Railroad/Pioneer Museum in Temple?

Please, I do want all info that you have found on Peppers/Kincheloe. Dorice in Austin

I was inquiring about the Peppers-Kincheloe lines and another person joined me with their ancestors which may someway be connected to mine. I would like to know the rest of the info that you have if it infact pretains to my families. Thanks, Dorice

I may be lost in the virtual world of Bell County of the early 1800s; however, I think someone asked about a Blanche L. ROBINSON at some point??? If so, this one is for you: In SOBCT, Volumes I & II, 1988, Bell County Historical Commission, pages 284 and 285: Under John Quincy ALLEN: John Q. ALLEN b. 19 Dec 1825 in Floresville, Pennsylvania; in TX in 1851; reported to have been gambler on Miss. riverboat. d. 18 Feb 1905 m. 13 Nov 1862 to Martha Marie Scott, d/o John Wesley and Eliza JOHNSON SCOTT; Martha was born on 04 Aug 1843, in Bedford County, Tennessee; died 30 Jan 1921 NOTE: at end of this bio. is: "The ALLENs and their daughter-in-law Blanche are buried in the ALLEN family plot in North Belton Cemetery." Under Allie Aleen ALLEN Allie Aleen ALLEN m. William Henry BROWN...made their home for a time in Central America before returning to Belton. Their son, Harry BROWN, m. Alene BASSEL, d/o John D. and Sarah Jane MESSER BASSEL. The information on Allie Aleen ALLEN was Originally Submitted by: J.D. BASSEL. ================================== I hope this will help someone. More than that, I hope Blanche ROBINSON is not a figment of my imagination and the result of long hours in Bell County, Texas' past! Ann Bartlett A Point to Ponder: Sometimes it is easier to obtain the "pedigree" of your pet than it is to obtain the "pedigree" of your ancestors.

In the Cedar Knob cemetery are many graves that were moved there. I don't remember names but I think perhaps at least thirty .

Mary Ann That is what I need, I had found the Stewart burial at Resthaven - Una Stewart, she was the daughter of Thomas Major Stewart, and had died at birth.... I had wondered why she was buried there when other family members where buried elsewhere... If she was one that had been moved from the Tennessee Valley, then that would explain it.... That is why I need the list of those moved to Resthaven, .... Thanks for all the help!!

Howdy Listers! A good place to post info about family reunions is at the TxGenWeb site below: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txsmith/txsem.html Mary Love Berryman maintains the page, and post info about genealogical seminars and family reunions. Reba Lawler has her 53rd Annual Lawler Family Reunion posted there. Way to go, Reba! I'll plan to put a hyperlink on the various Bell County pages so you folks can find the site more easily.

Howdy Marie.. Yes, you can ask your questions here, but they must have to do with Bell County in some way.... if your ancestor lived in Bell County and you have a question about county records relating to them while here, if you have a question about other family members in the county, if you have a question about where they lived in the county... then that's the sort of thing you can ask on the list. If your grandparents drew a pension from Bell County, you can ask here... and I'd also put a query on the Bell County Query Board. (I can do that for you, if you're not sure where to find it!) If you're not sure Bell County is where your question belongs, there are usually "Unknown" County query boards for each state, where you can ask things like "I don't know what county Grandfather lived in, but I know it was in Kentucky".... and can look for a response that way. Does that help, or do you need more info? Bill Bost TXBELL Listowner ----Original Message Follows---- From: "MARIE S.
