My great-grandfather was Edward Alexander Bell (b. 1824), son of Clements W. Bell (1769-1845). His siblings were William Bell, John Bell and Clementina Bell, I believe. They are from near Dundrod, Crumlin, listed also as Boltnaconnell, Killead Parish, Carnaghliss Townland, Aghnadarragh, in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, which is very near Glenavy. David Bell was the brother of Clements W. Bell, acc. to a census record.

Edward Alexander Bell married Leah Kennedy, whose family lived in Dundrod, Crumlin, acc. to letters from Jane Kennedy in the 1920s. Edward and Leah Bell immigrated to the United States in the 1840s.

I would appreciate any information you might have about the families.

Not sure if this is might be of any help but
John and Alexander Bell had neighbouring properties further north. John was an executor in Edward Magee’s Will made in 1862. 
The pdf is a page from the bio I am working up for Edward Magee 1786 - 1863.
It has the GV map listing and a bit of mapping
