My gggreatgrandmother Margaret Grimes Bell (husband James Bell co-founder of Bellville Texas was Susan Grimes Alford's(wife of Wright Alford) sister.Actually two of my ggggreat grandmothers were sisters of Susan Grimes--Her other sister, Nancy Grimes Benton Granville wife of Benjamin Granville also is my ancestor.I do not descend from the Alford side but found it interesting that some Alfords seem to keep crossing/intermarrying into several of my family lines.I will check out your website--I have all the paperwork to become a member of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas since I have 13 ancestors that were here in Austin County prior to 1836. Just haven't finished typing it up after two years. One other thing, Abigail Grimes, another sister of Susan Grimes married Thomas Bell, brother of my James Bell.Abigail & Thomas had Susan Alford living with them on one census but I believe this was a girl of 5.
