My ancestor Peter BELL was born in Cheshire circa 1785. In 1831 his wife Elizabeth (nee HIGGINSON) and children sailed from England to NY
The family settled in Sullivan NY (Peter was already there) for a few years then in 1835 the family left NY and went to Arkell Ontario Canada. (near Guelph)
The children of Peter & Elizabeth BELL were all born in Cheshire England. They were:
Ann Bell 1808
Phoebe Bell 1815 - 1850 md John Petty 1810 - 1880
Mary Bell 1819 - 1885 md David King 1817 - 1881
Peter Bell 1823- md Anne Cowan
Joseph Bell 1828 - 1908 md Charlotte Dory 1838 -
I am hoping to find a connection to this family in hopes of finding Peter's parents. Peter may have had a brother Thomas Thomas Bell (b 1783 d 1848 )
Fingers crossed!
