    Notes 
    • Abner Morgan wrote in 1946 about the descendants of Rueben and Dorcus MORGAN, and stated: "Sallie (MORGAN): I do not know much about her and have never contacted any of her offsprings, however I do know she married Enoch Bell and that around 1890 they lived in Kissimee, Florida." It appears that he may have been correct about the marriage of Sally Morgan to a BELL, but possibly mistaken about her husbands first name.

      There was a John Bell that was a head of household in Madison County, Florida Territory in 1840. His household consisted of 1 male between the ages of 40-50, one female between 20-30, two children between the ages of 5-10 (a boy and a girl), and three children under the age of 5, one boy and two girls.

      In Lowndes County, the only Bell indexed as a head of household in 1840 was Duncan BELL. In Decatur County, there were BELL household headed by a John S. BELL, but this was for a single male between the ages of 50 and 60.

      I was unable to locate the family of Enoch and Sarah Bell in Georgia or Florida for any census index from 1850 through 1900.

      It appears that Sarah "Sallie" remarried a Mr. Edwards and moved onto Florida. However, it appears she may have once again been widowed. This appears to the be same family below, despite a slight discrepency in ages
