Name	Sallie Morgan [1]
Birth	Abt 1817	North Carolina [2]
Gender	Female
Death	Yes, date unknown
Notes	Abner Morgan wrote, "I do not know much about her (Sallie) 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." There were several intermarriages between the BELL and MORGAN family. Sallie's brother, Duncan, was married to Elizabeth Bell, and her father, Rueben, married the widow of Joseph Williams, Perthenia Bell. However, a family headed by Enoch and/or Sallie Bell has not been located in any census index from 1850 through 1880. Nor is it known where Sallie fit in the birth order of the children in her parent's family. If she were among their firstborn children, the year of her birth could have fallen around 1794. If she were their youngest child, she may have been born as late as 1817 or 1818. Darrel Bell, the Florida GenWeb Project Coordinator, lists a Sarah UNKNOWN as the widow of John Bell, and a daughter-in-law of Hezekiah and Martha (Baggett) Bell. Perhaps Abner Morgan recalled Sallie's last name of Bell correctly, but was mistaken about the first name of her husband. It appears that she actually married John BELL. The John BELL family is listed on the 1840 Federal Census for Madison County, Florida. It appears John died prior to the 1850 Lowndes County, Georgia, census. Lowndes County, Georgia borders Madison County, Florida. His widow lived just two household's away from Nancy (Morgan) WILSON, a sister to Sallie. 361-361 Sarah BELL 33 F NC Mary J BELL 16 F Ga John BELL 14 M Ga <---Named for his father.

It appears she was again widowed. This appears to the be same family at the time of the 1860 census, despite a slight difference in the expected 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?

Ga It is also possible, but less likely. that instead of being her parent's youngest child, Sallie might also have been born shortly after their marriage (ca. 1794 to 1799). If this were the case, then perhaps it may have been Duncan Bell that she married, as she would have been close in age and proximity to Duncan who was born in 1795. The widowed Duncan Bell was living in Madison County, Florida in 1850. He was the father of Abraham, Martha, Patrick, Duncan, Lydia and Enoch BELL. He was born in North Carolina, with his children being born in Georgia. His oldest son, George, was living next door with the family of Glisson WILLIAMS. Glisson is the son of Perthenia Bell Williams Morgan, by her first husband.
