She was married to Irvin Bailey and he is the s/o Madison I think. She was the d/o Amos Shumate. Can't say when she was born but it was in the later 1800 or about 1870. ================================= Just a quick check on Ancestry.com shows a Bell Shumate who married Irving Bailey on 10 June 1893 in Wyoming County. (It appears that his first name was William Irvin Bailey. You might also try the spelling of "ERVIN".) Bell Shumate is the d/o Amos Shumate and Nancy, and was listed as 10 years old in the 1880 Wyoming County, Slab Fork District, census. They were living in HH # 28. Amos was aged 64, while Nancy was 45. Also living in the household were David Toliver (son) age 20 and Jesse Toliver (son) age 12. Hope this is helpful to you. Sue Thompson
