: I'm searching for the illusive parents and/or
: siblings of JAMES BELL, born 1816 (or as
: late as 1820) in Washington County. James
: married Cordelia Burch, d/o Frank and
: Elizabeth Burch, on 17 April 1849 in Larue
: County, and the couple had five children
: (Charles, Edward, Franklin, William Gore,
: and Elizabeth Ellen) before Cordelia died
: in 1863. James remarried widow Susan
: (Rogers) Ross in 1865 in Nelson County; a
: Thomas Bell was a witness at this marriage
: (a brother of James perhaps?). They had
: six children (Joshua, Lillie, Morgan,
: Susan, Clarence, and Orion H.). James
: died in 1892 and was buried with his first
: wife in New Haven. These families lived
: in Marion and Nelson Counties. Family
: tradition is that BELL surname may have
: been "Beall" or even
: "Abell" at one time, later
: dropping the letter "A". Does
: anyone have a JAMES BELL/BEALL/ABELL born
: around this time who might fit the
: description of my James? I'll share info
: on James' descendants. Thanks!
