Nancy (McClure) Bell migrated from Ireland to United States.
Nancy was born about 1839. She was likely the daughter of Robert McClure and Mary Steele of Ballymoghan More, Magherafelt, County Londonderry.

On 5 November 1863 at Magherafelt Church of Ireland, she married Henry Bell also of Ballymoghan, son of John Bell, labourer. Witnessed by John White and Mary Lagan.

After having children at Ballymoghan, the couple moved to Yonkers, New York.
