Note

There is an Elisabeth Curl that married Curry in Kentucky. This may be a clue. Curl is found at findagrave, but no mention of Bell. World Connect

In David Curl's will he bequeathed to Ann C. Clark of Camp Point, Adams Illinois and to his three sisters, Mrs Frances Bellew, Issabelle Clark, and Rebecca Pickler
