Posted on: Orange Co. Va Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Orange/10568 Surname: Bell ------------------------- My William Bell was b Orange Co., Va., so I guess there is no connection. There are alot of William Bell's out there. Have you tried calling the local Historical Society where you think he was? I did that in Va. and got great results.
