I just noticed the Bell name also in your message. The Bell's (Mother's side) are are from Baltimore, Maryland but did have Bell relatives that moved to Western Maryland (believe my great, great grandfather's brother) to do so farming. My grandfather Bell (Charles) married Ionia Klebe ---my mother's parents. William Wroten married Charles' sister Ethel Bell. Strange how these names seem to appear together in both our family histories , huh ?
You can email me at
woliver@olg.com if you like and I will give you what I know about these families. Laura
