• Notes

  Thomas Bell Sr is the son of Rachel O'Dell and David Beall / Bell Sr of Prince Georges MD then Iredell NC. Thomas Sr was married twice, first to Catherine Brown 13 Jan 1779 Prince Georges MD, second to Jane McGuire by 1791 Iredell NC. He was a wagoneer in the Revolutionary War. I have documentation that supports Thomas Bell's wives and children. I began from scratch only to find our family records. I will put my trail online as references. First I began with the aunt of my husbands grandmother who knew Nancy Carrie Bell. My husband's grandmother was born in 1886. She knew her family and they all kept records. You will see the trail I leave after I write this note. I also have Thomas's Revolutionary War Records but will only put some letters others had to write to verify his record was true. If necessary I will put the revolutionary records on also. This Thomas Bell was confused with Thomas Bell [LR22-5WJ] who died in 1834 Buncombe Co., NC, by descendants of Fanny Bell and Swan P. Burnett, a long time ago when they were attempting to join the DAR and used this Thomas Bells' RW service records. There is valuable information mixed in their evidence, for both of these men, but it needs to be carefully separated. (Please note that there was actually 4 men named Thomas Bell that served during the Revolutionary War from North Carolina). This Thomas Bell was NOT Married to Jane Montgomery.
