The question is, "What Bell family are they from"???? I have been searching my Bell family of Va. for many years and can only get to Roger Bell born about 1680.
I do find a Roger Bell was an indentured slave by Major John Stith 1683, William Presley 1657, and Howell Pryse 1655-1658. There seemed to be alot of illegal stuff going on with the transport of indentured servants, so I'm not surprised at the different dates.
So this tells us that this line of Bell's was in Va. at this times.
Do you have any lineage of the above Bell's.
