Bell-20410 and Bell-20317 appear to represent the same person because: These are the same people. Sources should be combined into 20317. Same birth and death dates and places. Children should carry over to new 20317. This is part of the Iredell County One Place Study. I added a source for the Map of the Fourth Creek Congregation in 1773.
