John A. Bell's parents were John Bell and Isabel Turner. The senior Bell was born about 1795, Isabel about 1800. Both were baptized in the First Garvagh Prebyterian Church around 1800. The Bell / Turner families lived side by side in the town land of Killyvalley, Derry N.I. Killyvalley is as short walk east from the Village of Garvagh in Co Derry. The Toyes referenced above also came from the same area, likely Town land Movenis and or Cullyramer. There is evidence of some Bells leaving Movenis for NA in 1833.
