Interesting that the daughters names are so similar, and both have nicknames of Polly, and that the attached sources do not mention either a Polly or Mary.

My trusted list shows that you are already on it. If that is not correct then I do not know how to fix it.

OK James;

Would you like to add me to the trusted list? If so please do. Thanks

Thank you, Les Blevins, it is a branch of my family tree, but I am not in that direct line.

If James Dotson is in the family line of James Bell I will defer to him to be lead manager of this line as James Bell is not in my direct family ancestors line.

Bell-9099 and Bell-13995 are not ready to be merged because: The dates on -9099 reflect the dates of HENRY Bell, Henry did not marry Peggy Troxell. Shannon Bell, as the profile manager of -9099 needs to decide who this profile is intended to represent. Henry Bell.....those are the dates shown and the sources added, or James Bell, who married Peggy Troxell

Bell-9099 and Bell-13995 are not ready to be merged because: dates and places on Bell-9099 do not match those of James that married Peggy Troxell, they are for Henry, that married Elizabeth Jackson. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=26975245
