Biography

Ireland Native
Margaret Bell was born in Ireland.

Margaret was born about 1832. She was the daughter of William John Bell and lived at Mullaghwotragh, Arboe, Co. Tyrone as of 1849.

On 17 Aug 1849, age 17, at Albany Presbyterian, Arboe, she married John Johnston, farmer, of Drumads, son of Joseph Johnston, farmer. Witnessed by David Macky and Thomas Johnston. [1]

On 24 April 1860 at Newmills Presbyterian, Tullyniskane, as a widow, she married Hamilton Bell of Drumconvis. Witnessed by Richardson Bell and Elizabeth Howard. [2]

She passed away 22 Feb 1891 at Drumads, age 57 or 58, married, due to fainting. Attended by Arthur H. Bell, son. [3] She is buried at Coagh Presbyterian in a family plot. [4]

Research Notes

Her brother David's will leaves money to "Children of the late John Johnston: Mary and Susanna Johnston." Despite the unusual wording, the simplest explanation for this is that those are Mary's children.
