Hi, everyone. I'm new to the list and I'm a 5th generation Bell Countian. I started doing genealogy research over 20 years ago and now have over 6,000 names in Personal Ancestry File. My ancestry list and history: Adeline Elizabeth Branham Moore, my great, great grandmother and widow of Nathaniel Wiley Moore, came to Bell Co. in the 1870's from Randolph Co., Alabama. She is buried at Salado cemetery with several children and grandchildren. Her children married Calhoun, Cosper, Sims, French. Amanda Sara Johnson Thornton Fletcher, great great grandmother and widow, came to Bell Co. in the 1870's from Alabama. She is buried at Sharp Cemetery, Rock Creek Baptist Church, on the Lampasas River, south of Youngsport with some children and grandchildren. (Her 1902 obit is posted on the Bell Co.genweb) William Norton and Henrietta Ellen Thorp Young, my great great grandparents, came to Bell Co. in the 1860's from Chickasaw Co.Mississippi. They are buried at Pleasant Hill cemetery in Nolanville with some children. I've traced the Thorp family back to 1700 in Virginia. John Henry and Charlotte Sophia Kamman Vieregge, my great great grandparents arrived in Galveston, Texas from Hanover, Germany in 1865. They are buried in Henderson Co., but lived in Bell Co. for awhile. I've lived in Belton almost all my life and graduated from Belton High in 1967 and UMHB in 1971. I'm enjoying the mail and it's great to meet others of you with roots in Bell Co. Ann Meade with roots in Bell Co.=20 Ann Meade =20
