→Bell family
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 Salvisa, 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. Millsaps (b. 1807 [[Tennessee|TN]] - d. 1884 Miami, MO) & 2nd wife Naomi Dredge Millsaps (b. 1823 Wiltshire, Eng. - d. 1863 Miami, MO).
Several of Philip & Eliza's children were active with the '''KCMR''', and all will be listed here, with known active years. It is currently unknown whether Philip Madison Bell or his wife Eliza were in fellowship with the PB, although the fact that Eliza died in KCMO in 1929, and their eldest son William Osborne Bell (1880-1962) was in fellowship with the meeting by 1927, it's possible.
