I am working on profiles of the early settlers of Bermuda or historically significant Bermudians for the Bermuda Project, a sub-project of the UK Project. I saw this profile and didn't think it was for Capt./Gov. Phillip Bell, because the dates were so far off. On second look I realize this is probably the profile for the Gov. I am adding project protection for this profile and as well as the project Template. The profile will also be clean-up (if needed) and sources added.
AND merging the duplicate I made into this one.
Thanks!
