The earliest known Bell of this lineage on Ancestry.com, with special credit to [https://www.ancestry.com/profile/0355633a-0006-0000-0000-000000000000 Ramsey Bould] for usage of her tree, was Sir (Knight) Robert Bell I (b. 1490 Thirsk, Yorkshire, [[England]] - d. 1584 Norwich, Norfolk, Eng.). His wife was Lady Mary Elizabeth Anderson Bell (b. 1499 Bellasis, Bellingham, Northumberland, Eng. - d. 1555 North., Eng.). Their only (known) child was Sir (Knight) Lord Robert Bell II (b. 1513 Outwell, Norfolk, Eng. - d. 1577 Leominster, Herefordshire, Eng.), who was the Speaker of the House of Commons. His first wife was Lady Elizabeth Winchester Lewes Inkpen Bell (b. 1517 Hertford, Eng. - d. 1603 Lincoln, Eng.).
Their only (known) son was Sir Robert Bell III, Esq., Lord Knight Exchequer (b. 1539 Outwell, Eng. - d. 1577 Leominster, Eng.), also Speaker of the HoC, who died of typhus. Sir Robert III's first wife was Dorothy "Lady Bell" Beaupre Bell (1538-1603 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaupr%C3%A9_Hall Beaupre Hall], Outwell, Norfolk, Eng.), a daughter of Sir Edmund Beaupre (1502-1567 Beaupre Hall, Eng.) & Lady Catherine Bedingfield Beaupre (b. 1507 Bedingfield, Suffolk, Eng. - d. 1601 Outwell, Eng.). Sir Robert III & Lady Bell had several children, including Sir Knight Edmund Bell (b. 1562 Beaupre Hall, Eng. - d. 1608 [https://landedfamilies.blogspot.com/2023/02/535-bell-of-beaupre-hall-and-wallington.html South Acre Hall], Southacre, Norfolk, Eng.) who with his wife Anne "Lady Bell" Osborne Bell (1564-1646) also had several children, including Henry Bell I (b. 1591 Southacre, Eng. - d. 1615 Quiddenham, Norfolk, Eng.).
Henry Bell I was the first of the direct lineage to have visited the U.S., to Jamestown, [[Virginia]] on the ship "Mary & Margaret", which was a second supply voyage of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Newport Capt. Christopher Newport]. This run also transported seventy settlers including the first two women to settle in Jamestown, as well as the first non-English settlers. Some of the immigrants were "artisans who built a glass furnace which became the first factory in America", as per the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamestown_supply_missions wiki] on the supply missions. As per the[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jamestown_colonists#Settlers from Second Supply (autumn 1608) Wikipedia] page with lists of Jamestown colonists, Henry was functioning there as a tradesman from Oct-Dec. 1608, then returning to England.
The year of his death, Henry and his wife, a former Dodson, had one son Henry Bell, Jr. (b. 1615 Norfolk, Eng. - d. 1698 Lancaster Co., VA) who evidently visited the U.S. at least twice with his wife Rebecca Bell (b. 1615) where their two eldest children was born, but the [https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/82029169 Ancestry] tree proposes that Henry Jr. didn't settle in Lancaster Co., VA until 1665. The eldest son was Henry Bell III (b. 1648 Lancaster Co., VA) who was the first of this lineage to be born in the U.S. He and his wife Esther had several children including Roger Bell I (b. 1672 Gravesend, Kent, Eng. - d. 1737 King & Queen Co., VA), who with his wife Margaret were parents of Roger Bell, Jr. (b. 1699 K&Q Co., VA - d. 1774 St. Thomas, Orange, VA).
In 1730 in Orange Co., Va., Roger Bell, Jr. married Elizabeth Jones (b. 1708 Henrico Co., VA - d. 1773 St. Thomas Parish, Orange, VA), their youngest son was Joseph Bell (1742-1823 Orange Co., VA). Joseph married Sarah Elizabeth Henderson (1746-1833 Augusta, Orange, VA), daughter of William Henderson (b. 1700 [[Scotland]] - d. 1770 Augusta, VA) & Susanna Logan Henderson (b. 1700 VA - d. 1785 Augusta, VA). Susanna's mother was Catherine McCrockett Logan (1675-1745 Govan, Lanarkshire, Scot.).
Joseph and Sarah's youngest son was Henry Bell, Sr. (b. 1775 Orange Co., VA - d. 1838 Mercer Co., [[Kentucky|KY]], who in 1796 while still in Virginia, married Susanna Atkins (b. 1775 Orange Co., VA - d. 1839 Mercer, KY), daughter of John W. Atkins (b. 1757 Orange Co., VA - d. 1837 Rockingham Co., NC) & Anne "Nancy" Burrus Atkins (b. 1758 Orange Co., VA - d. 1831). Henry and Susanna's sixth child, and middle son, was Henry Clay Bell (b. 1809 Orange Co., VA - d. 1865 Mercer Co., KY), whose 2nd wife (1851 @ Mercer, KY) was Mary Davis Slaughter Burrus-Bell (b. 1816 Mercer Co., KY - d. 1883 Miami, Saline, MO), daughter of Augustine Smith Slaughter (b. 1769 Lexington, Fayette, KY - d. 1845 Harrodsburg, Mercer, KY) & Susannah Fisher Slaughter (b. 1779 Mercer, KY - d. 1829 VA). The eldest child by Henry & Mary (although not either of their firsts) was Philip Madison Bell (b. 1852 Mercer, KY - d. 1902 Triplett, Chariton, MO), who in 1874 in Saline Co., MO married Elizabeth "Eliza" Donabell Millsaps (b. 1853 Miami, Saline, MO - d. 1929 KCMO), daughter of James W.
