I too am researching families in Bell County. There are a couple of books available through the Texas Archives Library that give information about Bell County Families. I found the first information that I had about my great-grandparents in the Texas Archives Library. I am interested in the Lancaster line because there was a Dr. Lancaster who reported the death of my great-grandmother, Della Elizabeth Simmons Clemons in 1904. Write me directly for any further details. Gayle Clemons Newkirk
