Hi Marsha, I don't know if this is ANY help at all, but it COULD be a link.... I grew up in an area of Spotsylvania County that borders on Orange County. The people across the road from me went to Orange schools and I went to Spotsylvania. Can't get MUCH closer to the border! :-) Anyway, a couple of miles from my house was a monument to Dr. Powell. I don't know anything about him except that he died of a gunshot wound. Seems some men prefer to keep their wives to themselves and not share them with the good doctor. :-0 I could ask my parents if they know any of the history....ie how long ago he was around...etc... I don't know if there were any dates on the monument - an obelisk about 8-10 feet tall by my recollection - but they may have an idea of the time frame. I always assumed it was around the 40s or 50s, but my have been much earlier. I will ask.

I am related to the Powells, Kirtley's and the Hawkins. This William Brockman Bell is related to this line but I have not found out how as yet. John Bell married Elizabeth Kirtkey Theior son William Bell married Frances Boston, daughter of Rueben and Sarah Francis Hawkins Boston. Thier Son was Captain Francis Kirtley Bell who married Mary Margaret Powell, daughter of William Lewis and Mary McMullan Powell their daughter Mary Margaret Bell married John Tanner Davenport. There are three mountains that where very close to each other, Kirtley's were on the Left and Bostons, were on the right. These mounains were a mile from Gordonsville, the largest mountain was own first by a Zachery Taylor. When the first William Bell came to Orange County, he leased 17 arces of this mountain from a Zachery Taylor. There neighbors were the Bostons who were related to the Hawkin Clan. This William Bell married Elizabeth Cave Johnson, she was married before to another gent. They had two children that I have found, Sarah Frances Bell who married William Golding and John Bell who married Elizabeth Kirtley, daughter of Francis and Elizabeth Ann Powell Kirtley, Jr. She was daughter of Honorias and Jeanette Kirtley Powell. Soon after the mountain was known as Bells Mountain. It was in the family line from 1760 when the first Bell came to Orange County from Augusta County to 1900 when the Davenport family sold the 17 arces to the Camerons. It then became Camerons Mountain. Hope this helps Cathy

Rueben's grandmother was Elizabeth Kirtley, the daughter of Captain Francis Kirtley & Elizabeth Powell (daughter of Honorias Powell, Jr.). The Bells, Kirtley & Powells all lived in the same area and the Kirtleys & Powells were of some prominence. I do know that their descendants married into descendants of Benjamin Hawkins.

Marsha, this probably won't be of any help to you but I wonder is this Will B. Bell is the father to the Will B. Bell Jr. you mention. The two witnesses on my record here are all tied to my Harris line Orange Co. death records--Lewis Harris is my DNA #12636 (brother to my Lindsay Harris, Lindsay is my direct line). 28 Aug 1809 - The will of Thoms Bell mentions children Sucky Bowling, wife of John; Becky Clark, wife of Larkin Clark; sons, Roger, Brockman, Thomas W., Will B.

I was delighted to learn I could buy a CD of Gleanings of Virginia by Boogher.

My apologies to anyone who is not somewhat concerned about _dmkchristian_ (mailto:dmkchristian@austin.rr.com) touting a book sold by dmkheritage.

THE very Idea of GROWLING abt the CD. I wonder Does BOBKAMMAN, WELL, I am going to wonder if this Featherless BIRD Realy thinks that HE/SHE knows ANY thing about just what Genealogy is ABOUT other than for the Purpose of Collecting & Sharing Family Information. ????? I FIND no solicitation in the TWO Paragraphs, Describing the usefulness of the, Information C. D. For Your Information: there is Nothing in the Definition Of the Word <SOLICIT> that implies that it pertains to the restriction of informing A Fellow Genealogist of Available Genealogical Information, BY means or Source. THERE was nothing mentioned about a SALE Please show where: Here is the information 353 pages including the index. it covers the ,Early Settling of the Western Counties of Va. Information on the Book, If your Local Library does not have it & you can not Borrow it, Check into this web Site, NOW just what is Commercial abt that, For a Fact a Dictionary is a great Asset to Genealogical Research. A T Powell Richmond, Va. <atpowelljr@aol.com>

I know there have to be rules and stuff, but the info she gave on the place to get the CD was very helpful to me as a genealogist. I thought that is what the lists are for. I wouldn't want people coming on here and selling everything in the world, but the lists are supposed to be helpful and if someone has a link to a resource I can use to get info I need, I just don't have a problem with the lists being used for that. Once again I understand the need for rules, but this one just seems a little too strict.
