• Name	John Bell  [1]
  Birth	Abt 1790	Duplin County, North Carolina   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Death	Bef 1850
  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.

John, Jr died while incarcerated at Camp Chase, Union Prision, Columbus, Ohio 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 1860 Census Madison County, Florida 616-616 Sally EDWARDS 45 F No Carolina (born ca 1815) Elizabeth BELL 20 F Domestic Labor Ga Jackson BELL 22 M Day Labor Ga <--Newton?
