Descendants of William H. Bell



Generation One


1. William H.1 Bell was born circa 1820 in AL. He married Ann E(lizabeth?) Foshee, daughter of ? Fouchet\Foshee and ? (--?--), on 22 May 1842 in Shelby County, AL. He died in Feb 1892 in Concord, Cleburne County, AR. He was buried in Concord Cemetery, Concord, Cleburne County, AR.
Occupations: Farmer, leather tanner, and shoe cobbler. He was of Irish descent.
His middle initial is "H.", which may be for Hampton. Some people think his middle name is Zachariah. However, in all instances of legal record, his middle initial is shown to be "H".

Census: 1850 Subdivision 18, Blount County, AL, page 115; 1860 Blount County, AL, page 1110; 1870 Marshall County, MS, page 631; 1880 Independence County, AR, ED 129, sheet 19. In 1850 no middle initial is shown; in the others it is "H.". In each one of the censuses he states that he was born in Alabama.
He applied for a land patent before the 1850 census. But it was not recorded until 1858. On 1 Mar 1858 he patented 320 acres of land in eastern Blount County, Alabama in Township 12S, Range 2E, and Section 36. The land patent and his marriage certificate shows his middle initial is "H." The date of death was once thought to be 12 May 1890. In Arkansas the deed assigning land from William Bell's children to Mary L. Harbin includes this phrase, "we being the lawful heirs of W.H. Bell, deceased," was signed on Feb. 26, 1892. According to Joe Vincent, there were other deeds assigned to the other children of William Bell. If these were assigned near the time of the death of William H. Bell, then his date of death would be about Feb. 1892.
In March or April 1869, about one month after his oldest son was murdered, he and his family moved to Arkansas. On the way they lived in Mt. Pleasant, Mississippi for three years to replinish their supplies. In 1872 they arrived in Tina, Arkansas, where present-day Concord is.

From "Concord Was My Home" by Elizabeth Brock-Light in the "Cleburne County Historical Journal, Fall 1979" about the William H. Bell family:
"They left Alabama heartbroken at the loss of their son, John, who was killed by bushwhackers in the Civil War. These same bushwhackers had ravaged their farm and home, taking everything they could find of any value, leaving the family almost destitute. They left Alabama actually in fear for the lives of the men in the family. "

Julia C. Helms has written a four-page story of the exodus as told by Susan Francis Bell-Long. Julia has also written a six-page story as told by Mayme Della Long-Jordan. Zelda Lee Harbin-Hunter has written a one-page story as told by Mary Louisa Bell-Harbin.
These four stories tell of hasty preparation and an exhausting journey before finally reaching Arkansas.
Another story told by Ora Bell-Cooper about Susan and James Owen Bell was in the "Arkansas Democrat", Sunday, 8 Feb 1976. They were confronted by five robbers one night on the trip; but they escaped that situation without any harm to themselves or their property.

Ann E(lizabeth?) Foshee was born on 8 Mar 1821 in NC. She died in Feb 1891 in Concord, Cleburne County, AR, at age 69. She was buried in Concord Cemetery, Concord, Cleburne County, AR. She was also known as Forshee. She was also known as Fouchet. Ann's father was probably from France; her mother may be a Cherokee. In each census from 1850 through 1880, it states she was born in NC. The date of birth of 08 Mar 1821 is from Velma Foshee (1990), James Hamilton (1995) and Joe Vincent (1999). Her marriage certificate states her name as "Anna Forshee". Marlin Ellis wrote Julia C. Helms and said he and Katy Bishop were going through an old trunk that had belonged to Nancy Bell Ellis. They found a pair of reading glasses wrapped in a piece of paper on which was written "Ann Fouchet Bell, died Feb. 1891.".
Children of William H.1 Bell and Ann E(lizabeth?) Foshee were as follows:
